Be warned, this video is almost complete fabrication. There were only 28 casualties in Fort McHenry, 24 wounded and 4 killed. Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry (NOT fort "Henry") Mr Key went privately to secure the release of one friend, he was NOT sent to represent anyone else. The bombardment of Fort McHenry was in 1814 the United States was a sovereign nation recognized by the British government. Return to British rule was not an objective of the British. Fort McHenry was most definitely a military installation with a garrison of 1,000 soldiers and no civilians. There were only 19 Royal Navy ships present. There wasn't even a single ship of the line, and HMS Victory alone represents nearly as much firepower as the squadron at Fort McHenry.

Francis Scott Key did write the song after he witnessed the attack. I don't know if every detail is correct, but it is probably pretty close. In 2005, I was in Iraq. A rocket hit 190 feet from us. It was 0500, so still dark. We got into a bunker. The container it hit was burning and blown up. The flames illuminated the smoke as it was pouring out of the cargo container. As I peered out of the bunker and saw that scene, the sun was just starting to give us some morning light. My mind went to the Nation Anthem. I thought, " Wouldn't it be perfect if we had a flag at out tent compound, with the fire and smoke. The explosion was deafening. This is one reason this song means so much to me.

While rooted in actual events, as told in the video there are a fair amount of details inaccurate, plausibly a collection of errors/embellishments common to oral stories being retold. Granted it this seems may have been recorded many years ago, the internet and search engines have made it much simpler to check details of events now. Only 19 ships were involved in the siege, only four people died in the fort that night, the name of the fort is actually Fort McHenrey, who knows how much the quotes shifted, guns and rockets of the early 1800s were pretty inaccurate so the majority missed the fort entirely, and you would be lucky to hit the fort if you aimed at a flagpole in the center of it in darkness. It also seems pretty doubtful that even if they did destroy or take the fort that it would have been the end of the war. Plus there is some inherent contradictions, like the bodies were being cycled out as they died, but like a sentence later stated what bodies were holding it up at an odd angle.

Some of the story is exaggerated it wasn't hundreds of British ships but a few dozen. The part about Francis Scott Key being held prisoner overnight and demanding their surrender by taking the flag down is also true. Also true that Francis Scott Key wrote the poem and that during the night the only way to see the flag is when the bombs went off. The flag that flew over Forth McHenry is in the Smiithsonian Institute Museum. You seemed like it was a fairy tale story. Some things are but this has alot of truth in it.

Yes, very much a true story. I don't know all the details but they say around 20 people died in the fort. A typical fort probably had maybe 100 people or less total. Many died keeping that flag lifted. The flag was knocked down several times in the night by canon fire. Each time a brave patriot risked his life and ran out of cover to pick the flag up again and raise it throughout the night.

"typical fort"? The average coastal defense fort for a major harbor (Norfolk, Baltimore, NY, Philadelphia, Charleston etc.) during wartime would be over 1,000 not 100, and only 4 people were killed at Fort McHenry. Oh, and explain to me how men held up a flagpole 9 stories high weighing over a ton? Basically this story is complete hogwash.

I've watched this video several times to see others reactions. They don't understand what the flag and anthem mean to us until they hear this story. Our flag and anthem are a testament to our forefathers who have died in honor of our country and its peoples. It also explains why it is a federal offense for the flag to touch the ground. That instance constitutes surrender, something we Americans are not familiar with.

This is an oral tradition. In fact Key was on a truce ship which sailed to the fort to negotiate the release of the elderly Dr. William Beanes. There was no communication between the British and the forces inside the fort. They just started bombing when they were in place. The British prisoner ships were six miles offshore and did not participate in the bombing. He successfully secured the elderly man's release and was on the British ship when the bombardment began. When it was over he used a spyglass across that six miles to see the result and saw the flag still waving. When he got back he wrote the poem.

The original video is filled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations of the truth. Just a few examples. Key went to negotiate the release of one prisoner. It was not the full might of the British navy it was about 20 ships. Also the flag was not held up by the dead. There were 4 people killed in the battle. It was most definitely a military fort it was protecting the harbor. History is good enough we don't need to embellish it.
