The country's national anthem is used in important gatherings. National anthem of the country of the winning athlete in every Olympic court. The national anthem is also used in local sports events such as baseball games and Super Bowl. Officially accepted in 1931, the words were written on September 14, 1814, because the Key, the detained British, was inspired by the view of the American flag over Fort Mchenry in the morning after the brutal British. Wrote:

O Say, you can see, at the dawn of early light,
What did we proudly close at the last radiation of dusk?
Whose wide stripes andbright stars, tro 'dangerous fight,
O'er Ramparts we watched was so bravely streaming?
And red glare of missiles, bombs in the air,
He gave proof that at night that our flag was still there.
O say that the battalion battalion still waves
O'er Free Land and Home Brave?

Key wrote words to fit the Smith's melody, which was called "Anacreon in heaven". Before 1931, both "star flags" and "my country" were used as national anthem.

Some national anthems have never been officially sanctioned.
