“The Star-Spangled Banner” is more than just a song; it’s an iconic anthem that captures the spirit of a nation, recounting a pivotal battle from the War of 1812.

The answer takes us back to the somber days of World War I, when the anthem became a powerful reminder of national pride and resilience.
