It marks the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted (July 4, 1776) and the United States officially became its own nation.
To celebrate their victory over British forces during the War of 1812, U.S. soldiers raised a large American flag at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 14, 1814.Poet Francis Scott Key was inspired by seeing the flag after witnessing the fort’s bombardment. He wrote a poem called "Defence of Fort M'Henry." This eventually became the Star-Spangled Banner and the United States national anthem.
We have come a long way since 1776 and now we have a Democrat party sabotaging the principles of the greatest country on the face of this Earth.
