The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key. National Anthem Day celebrates the rich history behind its creation. The song officially became our national anthem on March 3, 1931 by a congressional resolution signed by President Herbert Hoover.

It has been assumed by a few people that National Anthem Day is September 14, the day the song was written. This is incorrect. National Anthem Day is every March 3rd, in celebration of the day that congress made the Star-Spangled Banner our national anthem.
