FORT MEADE, South Dakota
This Sign commemorates the fact that "
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
became our National Anthem from a suggestion that started at this fort.
The images of the following link may not fit the subject but there are a few words wrong in the sound track also.
View
"THE BATTLE OF FORT McHENRY"
to see and hear how the song was inspired.
