It actually has four verses, and you can read (or sing) all of them below. Americans should stand and face the flag, and many people put their hand over their heart while singing the National Anthem and men should remove their hats/caps (with the exception of active duty military personnel (only when in uniform) who should face the flag if visible or music if flag is not visible, stand at the position of attention, and render the hand salute at the first note of the music and hold it until the last note has sounded or the flag is folded, whichever is later.)

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream;

'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, Oh long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand

Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heaven rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

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!

How many stars did the US flag have in 1814?

In 1814, the United States flag had 15 stars. This design was adopted in 1795 and included one star for each state in the Union at that time, with Vermont and Kentucky being the last two states added before the flag's design changed again in 1818. The 15-star flag was commonly known as the "Star-Spangled Banner," which inspired Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812.


When was the first union made?

The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain. I will assume you mean the Union vs. the Confederate flag of the American Civil War. Although Kansas attained status on January 29, 1861 as the 34th state, Ft. Sumter was still flying the 33-star flag when it was bombarded in April. Therefore, it could be argued just as effectively that the first official flag of the U.S. (Union) Army of the Civil War was the older, 33-star banner or the newer, 34-star version. However, the official flag of the Union when war broke out was the 34-star Kansas-inclusive version adopted at the end of January, 1861. Many versions followed, some representing states and others brigades and various military units.
