re: ....And The Home Of The Brave?

That's because you're supposed to put a question mark at the end of a question:
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
The last two lines are asking if the flag is flying over the "land of the free and home of the brave."

It is true that people really don't pay attention to the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

I'm glad somebody answered this question quickly. It is sad that any American would not know this.
