Surprisingly, I have seen the script for the star spangled banner incorrectly showing the word "flight." And oh how many High School Students sing it incorrectly at their sporting events!

I'm sure the flight of our flag was perilous as well, but as you have noted the correct word is "fight."

One last shot concerning the glory of our flag:
