Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote it to commemorate Russia's successful defense against Napoleon invasion of Russia in 1812. Pretty weak reason. It fits the festivities of the Fourth of July. It's also in the public domain. Besides the "Stars and Stripes Forever" and the "Star Spangled Banner" and the possibly the "Thunderer" what would you substitute?Response by LTC Dave Leppanen made Jul 10 at 2022 1:20 PM2022-07-10T13:20:55-04:002022-07-10T13:20:55-04:002022-07-09T16:27:02-04:00
