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.

What do the words to the American National Anthem mean?
The Star Spangeled Banner is another word for our flag. The song is symbolic of the fights and the struggle and the many battles we fought to keep our independence in the very begining of our country's history. The lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key who after an especially nasty battle, see's the sun begining to come up (Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light) and through the smoke and the dirt and destruction of battle (and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air), he sees the flag still in one peace, waving and standing how it did the night before (gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave). With pride in his heart he feels and therefore writes the last line "For the land of the free and the home of the brave," honoring those who fought proudly for the the country and the flag (symbolically)

Did Jimi Hendrix mean to dishonor the Star Spangled Banner?
I did not know that he did, he simply played it the best he could. Which is pretty awesome. Besides have you heard some of these people butcher it on t.v. before a sporting event? Naw Hendrix didn't dishonor the Star Spangled Banner, he took it to a new level. He made the Star Spangled Banner into a psychedelic song. Hendrix was also a patriot, he would never disrespect our country. He played the song that way to honor the troops that were fighting in Vietnam. The sounds you hear are the bombs dropping, soldiers dying, screaming people, and even the sound of bullets. It is simply magical. - Havok What a silly question. First of all it's art and that is in the ear of the beholder. Second, Jimi was a vet and served in the 101st Airborne, which is volunteer duty, which means he was no hippie idiot who didn't know what patriotism is about, he served and earned the right to play that song any way he wanted. Third, there's no disrespect to the song or the country in his arrangement. Finally, it's the greatest guitar player who ever lived paying tribute to his country, there's no controversy here and they should play it at government functions, in my opinion.
