​TRIVIA TIDBITS
America had no national anthem for much of her history, although the words were written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and the poem was put to music by John Stafford Smith using the tune of the popular British drinking song, “To Anacreon in Heaven.” It became so popular it was recognized by the Navy in 1889 and by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. It was finally made our national anthem in 1931 by a congressional resolution, which was signed by President Herbert Hoover. ​
