The Star-Spangled banner has been a treasured icon ever since Francis Scott Key celebrated the of an American flag still flying over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.
This stamp commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Star-Bangled Banner with a photograph of the flag that flies over Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore. This flag is a replica of the one that inspired Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner" after Fort McHenry withstood the British attack of September 13-14, 1814.
The Star-Spangled Banner stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp.
