Flag Day: America
built 349 days ago
Just in time for Flag Day, the 14th of June, and the Fourth of July is the release of this American history-themed DVD collection of Peanuts animated episodes. Creator Charles Schulz always had a hand in each show, so the stories are humorous and simplistic, but fact-based, portrayals of these events that young and old can enjoy.
As daylight broke, Francis Scott Key saw the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry, after it had been bombarded all night by the British. Inspired, he wrote a poem entitled "The Defense of Fort M'Henry," which was later set to music and renamed the "Star-Spangled Banner." Congress made it the official national anthem in 1931.

The flag of today grew out of many earlier flags raised in days gone by over American soil. From the time that America was discovered, different flags flew over different parts of the country; the flags of Spain, France, Holland, Sweden, and England.
