I was in the process of posting a new cache, myself, when I noticed that this had just been published.  Figured I'd run up and claim it.

I don't think you can visit this National Historic Shrine or consider its significance, too often.  I actually learned something new today.  The current 50-star flag was flow for the first time, here at Fort McHenry.  I did not know that.

I'll actually be back up here next month for the BSA Baltimore Area Council 100th Anniversary Camporee.  Of course, only a small numbrer of units will be able to camp in the fort and we're not one of them.  Still, should be a great time.

Thanks!

What so proudly we hailed...
What so proudly we hailed...
O'er the ramparts we watched...
O'er the ramparts we watched...
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
