From www.flaghouse.org, here’s the story of the writing of The Star Spangled Banner (it may give you inspiration)…note: instead of quotation marks, the part quoted from the site is sandwiched between [ ] – one at the beginning, one the end:
[Francis Scott Key and “The Star-Spangled Banner”
by Paul E. Plamann
(Reprinted from the National Flag Day Foundation’s Pause for the Pledge Information Packet, 1987)
The Battle of Baltimore would be remembered only as one of the few American victories of consequence in the War of 1812 had not Francis Scott Key, a 34-year-old lawyer-poet, so effectively dramatized the bombardment, the flag and much of the feeling of the day in verse.
Francis Scott Key, a prominent figure of his time, was both an orator and idealist. Key was born in 1770 at a manor house, Terra Rubra, in Frederick County, Maryland. He attended St. John’s College in Annapolis and returned to Frederick to practice law. After he married Mary Tayloe Lloyd, the couple moved to Georgetown so Francis could practice law with his uncle, Phillip Barton Key.
A pacifist at heart, Key had no desire for war with England. Still, after Congress passed the War Act in 1812, Key the patriot became a lieutenant and quartermaster in a field company just before Washington was burned in 1814.
The incident which led to Key’s celebrated poem began at this time, September 1814, when friends importuned the persuasive lawyer to intervene after the unjust capture of Dr. William Beanes, a physician from Upper Marlboro who had caused the arrest of an unruly band of British soldiers. In retaliation, Admiral Sir George Cockburn sent a detachment of troops who broke into Dr. Beanes’ house, dragged him from bed and threw him in irons on board ship. It was an outrage, but his release could not be secured, and Cockburn threatened to hang him from the yardarm.
Although the capital was in utter confusion, the President gave his sanction to this mission of mercy. Under a flag of truce, Key boarded an American sloop with Colonel John S. Skinner and approached the British fleet somewhere in the Chesapeake. Key was coldly received, but he had with him documents which described the care with which the captured doctor had treated wounded British soldiers. The documents swayed the argument and Key’s plea for the release of Dr. Beanes was granted. But the hour had struck for the attack on Baltimore from the sea. Powerless to give warning, the three Americans were detained, thus being forced to watch the bombardment of Fort McHenry within enemy lines, a strange paradox.
Over embattled Fort McHenry flew a tremendous flag. Key watch the enemy rockets and bombs burst in the air. He felt the spray and the movement of the swells. The night grew still. In the morning light Key saw the great flag over the star fort. On the back of an envelope he began to write the words which would become “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Key jotted down notes aboard the ship and finished the poem that night after he returned to Baltimore. Key’s poem was set to a well-known English tune. Printed as a handbill immediately after the battle, the song, evoking powerful emotions of courage and patriotism, became very popular with the people of Baltimore. Within months of its birth, the song appeared in newspapers, magazines, and books.
It was not until the start of the Civil War that “The Star-Spangled Banner’ became foremost among our national songs. During the war, both Northern and Southern forces rallied to the song. During this war, and others that would follow, branches of the military service used it as an “unofficial” national anthem during their ceremonies.
With America’s entrance into World War I, the song became so widely accepted that a drive was begun in Congress to make it our nation’s official anthem of the Armed Forces.
The battle to win Congressional approval, however, was not an easy one. There were may other contenders for the honor, including “America the Beautiful” and “Yankee Doodle.” There were many individuals and groups associated with the movement to have the Star-Spangled Banner made our Country’s anthem. But paramount among the leaders in this cause were Maryland Congressman Charles Linthicum and Mrs. Reuben Ross Holloway, of Baltimore, whose perseverance was finally realized on March 3, 1931. That day President Herbert Hoover signed his name to Public Law 823, thereby officially designating a national anthem for the United States.
The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed 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 rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through 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 on 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 wash'd 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 heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that has made and preserved us as a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause 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.
Tune: Anacreon in Heaven]
You could have 1-an American physician dragged onto a British ship, 2-Frances Scott Key waving a white flag of truce to gain access to the ship, 3-show the view of the Fort with its huge American flag, before the bombardment began, from the boat in which Key is traveling to board the British ship, 4-Show Key giving documents to the captain (showing how the doctor had treated British casualties, too), 5-Show the rockets bursting over the Fort & the flag hidden behind smoke, 6-Show the sun rising and a view of the flag still flying from the fort (the British haven’t succeeded in taking the fort, therefore). Just a thought…

Tomahawk (Comics) $176.84 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Tomahawk is a comic book character whose adventures were published by DC Comics during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as a backup feature in Star Spangled Comics and Worlds Finest Comics and in his own eponymous series. His uniqueness stems in part from the timeframe of his fictional adventures: the American Revolutionary War.Known as either Tom Hawk or Thomas Haukins, depending on which of two versions of his published history the reader prefers, Tomahawk was a soldier who served under George Washington in the warfare between the British, French and Iroquois forces during the decades prior to the American Revolutionary War and acquired his nickname due to its resemblance to a trademark weapon of the Iroquois Confederacys warriors, and to the skill he developed with that weapon.

Unknown Soldier (DC Comics) $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Unknown Soldier is fictional war comics character in the DC Comics universe. The character was created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, first appearing in Our Army At War #168 (June 1966).The Unknown Soldiers first appearance in Our Army At War #168 was in a Sgt. Rock story, I Knew The Unknown Soldier , written by Kanigher and drawn by Kubert. Kubert, who also edited the DC Comics line of war comics at the time, decided that the character was interesting enough to be featured in his own series, which began some years later in Star Spangled War Stories, running from #151 (JuneJuly 1970) to #204 (February 1977). Eventually, Star Spangled War Comics began featuring the Soldier exclusively. With #205 (May 1977), the book changed its title to The Unknown Soldier, continuing the numbering and running for another 64 issues, ending with #268 (October 1982).
