sgtschulze Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Good luck fact checking that story. It's a nice "feel good" story but I can't believe that the details are 100% accurate. I will agree that we have as a nation lost sight of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit Of Happiness....we try too hard to guarantee happiness.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Here is the story I know of the anthem. I will state before I click the link to see if I am write. There was a battle at some fort, I believe after days of battle the losers were leaving and one guy seen a huge flag flying high above the ft they could not conquer. He jotted down his thoughts which later was adapted to another french song to become what we know as the start spangled banner. Here I go to see what the link says.

CRed05 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 As far as I know it was written while there was a battle going on at Fort Henry. Francis Scott Key wrote it while he was watching the British bombing it. I'm not even from this country...noobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 That's cool. My uncle visited Vietnam about 45 years ago, he had a good time. My family is from the south. My dad and uncles were in the south army. http://www.urnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fall_of_saigon-500x327.jpg Indeed, a very sad day. Because days like that my family are here in the US and may be my children will have a better future than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
