The flag of the United States of America known as the "Star Spangled Banner" was flying over Fort McHenry on the morning of September 14th, 1814 after a 25 hour bombardment by British warships during the War of 1812. When the young lawyer, Francis Scott Key, awoke in the early morning light and saw the flag was still there he immediately started penning a poem, "In Defense of Fort M'Henry." The last lines of the first verse... "O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" The name stuck especially when his poem became our National Anthem.
