    The Star-Spangled Banner Flag or the Great Garrison Flag (at the time having 15 stars and 15 strips) was the garrison flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the naval portion of the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Seeing the flag during the battle inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem “Defense of Fort McHenry<\/em>“, later retitled with the flag’s name: “Star Spangled Banner<\/em>” and set to the tune: “To Anacreon in Heaven<\/em>“, by John Stafford Smith. It became the National Anthem of the United States in 1941.<\/p>\n
