This will be Raphael's first visit to the museum and my first in four years since the museum was close for the past three. This is truly my favorite museum among all those on the Mall. Here's the Website: http://americanhistory.si.edu/ Here's the link for more on the Star Spangled Banner: http://americanhistory.si.edu/starspangledbanner/

From the Website:

"On September 14, 1814, U.S. soldiers at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry raised a huge American flag to celebrate a crucial victory over British forces during the War of 1812. The sight of those “broad stripes and bright stars” inspired Francis Scott Key to write a song that eventually became the United States national anthem. Key’s words gave new significance to a national symbol and started a tradition through which generations of Americans have invested the flag with their own meanings and memories."
