FORT MCHENRY










While Mitch and Cari were here we also made a quick trip to Fort McHenry.  We made it right about closing time.  We got there just in time to retire the 15 star flag that had flown over the fort for the day and raise the traditional 50 star flag to fly at night.  The battle won against the British here at Fort McHenry was the inspiration to the writing of The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key.
