National Anthem
NATIONAL ANTHEM
“O‘er the land of the free and the home of the brave”
Written by Francis Scott Key, 1814 Maryland Lawyer. Adopted by Congress as the
national anthem in 1931.
From far off land I‘ve traveled
America, thy name I adore
“Land of the free and the home of the brave”
Forever, grateful and indebted
To your sons and daughters
With bravest mind and heart
Even death can’t stop them
Freedom is sought at any cost!
Along with my naturalization
A booklet was presented to me
On the first page is our national anthem
The Star-Spangled Banner!
