Fort McHenry.
Fort McHenry. Someone created a poem about it which later became the National Anthem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_McHenry
The National Anthem was written by Francis Scott Key in 1812. He was inspired to write the song after witnessing an attack on Fort McHenry by the British Navy. The fort received a severe pummeling, but survived with the American flag still flying overhead. Key's Star-Spangled Banner was adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1889, and officially declared the national anthem in 1931.

The "Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States, was composed in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. He wrote the lyrics after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The flag that inspired the anthem was made in the summer of 1813 by Mary Pickersgill and her team, specifically for the fort's defense. The song was later set to music and officially adopted as the national anthem in 1931.

The national song of America is "The Star-Spangled Banner." Written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, it was inspired by the sight of the American flag after the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The song was officially designated as the national anthem in 1931, symbolizing national pride and resilience.
The national flag that inspired the writing of the U.S. national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," was completed in about six weeks. It was made by flagmaker Mary Pickersgill and her team of seamstresses in 1813 for Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
