Episode: Thereās An Official Spanish-Language Version Of āThe Star-Spangled Bannerā
Description: Today in 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a bill that made āThe Star-Spangled Bannerā the national anthem of the United States, more than a century after it was written. Another fun fact about the anthem: there's an official Spanish-language version. Plus: today in 1920, the birthday of James Doohan. His Star Trek character, Mr. Scott, has a plaque in the town where he's supposed to be born in 2222.
