Francis Scott Key penned a four-stanza poem for what became our National Anthem. We all know the first verse - the remainder is pretty obscure. I offer the last section with BEST WISHES for your holiday...
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
