  • The U.S. Army Field Band performs the Star Spangled Banner at Fort McHenry for Defenders Day. Defenders Day commemorates the defense of Baltimore from September 12th through September 14th during the War of 1812. The events inspired Francis Scott Key to write the now famous words of the Star Spangled Banner, which became our National Anthem in 1931. Enjoy this beautiful rendition performed "O'er the ramparts."
    Lyrics by Francis Scott Key, Music by John Stafford Smith, arrangement by Master Sgt. Adrian Hernandez. Video by Sgt. First Class Jared Morgan.

    This is how our National Anthem should be sung, with honor, humility, and dignity. Not sung all fansy and trying to hit high notes. Hearing our National Anthem being sung like it should be sung (like this), makes me proud to be an American and a US Navy Sailor and veteran

      My bucket list was to perform with a US Military band and I did. I performed with the US Army Field Band for 26 years retiring in 2000. My experiences with this group throughout the USA and several trips around the world were profoundly patriotic. Soon they will return to the "road" covering each US state every 2 1/2 years. I hope you achieve your bucket list item. I'm sure you will leave with love of country and pride in her armed forces. Oh, and you will also be very well entertained.

    The War of 1812 was a war that did not go our way. We suffered defeat after defeat. After the British burned down the capitol, they moved on to Baltimore. American morale was low. Francis Scott Key was witness to the relentless bombardment by the British on Fort McHenry which lasted throughout the night. At dawn, Key saw that our flag was still there and was filled with patriotism. The British seeing that the Americans would not surrender the fort retreated.
    Our National Anthem is a symbol that no matter how bad things seem to appear, we will always persist. We will never give up even in the face of fierce opposition.

      @@RAXYsart On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
      Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
      What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
      As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
      Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
      In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
      'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
      And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
      That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
      A home and a country, should leave us no more?
      Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
      No refuge could save the hireling and slave
      From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
      O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
      Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
      Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
      Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
      Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
      And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
