“For 25 hours, [“The Star-Spangled Banner” author Francis Scott Key] watched in dismay as fire had crashed down upon this ground. But through torrents of rain, and smoke, and the din of battle, Key could make out 15 broad stripes and 15 bright stars — barraged and battered, but still there,” said President Donald Trump as he detailed the origin of the U.S. National Anthem during a Memorial Day ceremony Monday at Fort McHenry.
