I believe so. I believe that Francis Scott Key wrote the words to the already popular melody after some of their men were kidnapped. I believe he was out on the water (maybe trying to rescue the kidnapped, I'm not sure) and after hours and hours of bombing, through the smoke he saw the American flag still standing there.

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
