For 25 hours, British ships hurled over 1,500 bombs at Fort McHenry. The defenders held.
With explosions rattling the walls and rockets screaming overhead, American soldiers stayed at their posts. When the flag was shot down, they raised another. When the bombardment intensified, they refused to surrender.
Francis Scott Key watched from a ship in the harbor, certain the fort must fall. But through the night, the Americans persevered.
"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."

Still standing.
