National Anthem Day
“The Star-Spangled Banner” became the National Anthem of the United States of America on March 3, 1931, when President Herbert Hoover signed it into law. Today, we annually celebrate March 3rd as “National Anthem Day.” In recognition, we are sharing an image of President Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan singing the National Anthem at the “Star Spangled Salute to America” held at the Jefferson Memorial, in Washington, DC, on July 3, 1987.
The 15-star flag, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, is now on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Here is the link where you can view this item: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_463144

The Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say! can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
