He noticed a U.S. flag broken and torn still flying after a long day of battle and the smoke had cleared. Inspired by the sight of the flag is still flying, wrote a poem called "Defense of Fort McHenry." Exemplification of American patriotism, his poem was later set to music and became a song, this song was renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner" officially became the United States' national anthem in 1931. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson by Executive Order the name of the song the national anthem of USA in 1916.
