Something a bit different today. Some may not realize that it was not until in 1931 when the Star Spangled Banner was made the national anthem. In September 1936, there was a nation wide movement by the American Legion Auxillary to have the national anthem played as many venues as possible. Locally, it was Maud Lund, the music chairman of the Thomas Tucker Post American Legion Auxillary duty launch a local campaign to have the anthem played at local events.
