What does home of the brave mean in the star spangled banner?
WRONG ANSWER BELOW: Key meant that the people of the United States were brave and stood up to the British. As he stood watching the British bomb Ft. McHenry he wrote the lines to the poem that became the song. He could see the American soliders holding the fort against the British and that they withstood the bombs that were being thrown at them. The flag still flew through that night of battle and the fort wasn't taken. They were brave.
