Oh Say Can You See… The Origin of the Star Spangled Banner
Delaware Military Museum, Conference Room New Castle County
First Regiment Road
Recently, the "Star Spangled Banner," our National Anthem, has been a touch stone for civil rights issues and national controversy. Its words were born out of national crisis, written by a man who was himself no stranger to controversy — the song's melody originated with a British men's club celebrating wine and sex. This lecture explores the origin of the song, the author, a few of the controversies, and the times during which our anthem was conceived.

Warriors Helping Warriors is excited to announce our eighth golf outing on May 9, 2025 at St. Anne's Golf Course. Our last seven golf outings were a tremendous success thanks to people like you and we hope to have a repeat this year. The Brian Conley Veterans Resiliency Center has housed over 170 homeless veterans in its six years of operation and we need to fundraise so we can continue our mission of providing case management and housing to veterans that need some help with getting the benefits and services they so rightly deserve.Warriors Helping Warriors was formed on the premise of helping fellow veterans and their families navigate the Veterans Administration (VA) and Military Systems, and reintegrate into society. In its endeavor to capture the resiliency of our military men and women, the organization opened The Brian Conley Veterans Resiliency Center where veterans can adapt to their new mission. The center offers programs to support: Family Reunification, Health and Wellness, Housing, Job Placement, Resource & Benefits Education, Financial Planning, Recreation, Peer Support, Mental Health and so much more.Please grab some family, friends and business partners and join us in another fun filled day of golf, friendship, prizes, food and drinks while supporting those that preserve our freedom and were willing to give it all for us.Please consider adding your name to our list of sponsors!Thank you for your continued Support!BeveragesTwisted Irons Craft Brewing Co
