Sign this petition if you believe our National Anthem should be updated in order to represent the different nationalities who contributed to this country's greatness. The National Anthem was written by Frances Scott Key September 14th 1818 and became our Nation Anthem thru and act of Congress in 1931 during a time where the civil rights of all men and women were not regarded equally.

I am I am a U.S Navy retiree and a veteran of several foreign wars. I have risked and dedicated my life to uphold the values and principals of this great nation. However, I also recognize its greatness is due to the efforts, blood, sweat and tears of many nationalities, cultures and backgrounds.

Join me in this request to have our nations anthem updated. Thank you.
