1931 The Star-Spangled Banner officially became the national anthem of the US. Francis Scott Key composed the lyrics to The Star-Spangled Banner in 1814, after observing that Fort McHenry's flag had survived an 1,800-bomb assault during the War of 1812. Key's words were later set to the tune of To Anacreon in Heaven, a popular British drinking song. Throughout the nineteenth century, the song was regarded as the national anthem by most branches of the US armed forces and other groups, but it was not until 1916, and the signing of an executive order by President Woodrow Wilson, that it was formally designated as such. In 1931, Congress passed an act confirming Wilson's presidential order, and President Hoover signed it into law

There is such an inspiring video telling the story of The Star-Spangled Banner that I would like to see put in all the classrooms. It's on You Tube.
