This song whose lyrics reflect the experience of a lawyer who witnessed the siege of Fort McHenry from the deck of a ship held under the surveillance of the British Empire. Tells the story of our nation's most powerful symbol, its flag waving proudly over Fort McHenry in the dawn's early light, signifying our nation's victory at a pivotal battle during the War of 1812. In 1949, an act of Congress ensured that flag day would become a national day of observance. Our nation's flag is a symbol of unyielding freedom, justice, and security offered by our country. It is a stark reminder of the lengths of those who ensure our freedom take while heightening highlighting our principles to the rest of the world. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
