Key's Vision.
Francis Scott Key was a prisoner aboard a British ship during a battle of the War for Independence. The battle raged long and hard through the night, but the American fort held out against the British onslaught. In commemoration of this event, Key wrote a poem, the Star Spangled Banner, which later became the national anthem.

Why? Because I didn't get to see any fireworks this Fourth.
