Flag Art

And I'm proud to be an American, 

where at least I know I'm free. 

And I won't forget the men who died, 

who gave that right to me.

Fort McHenry - National Monument

The Baltimore weekend was an educational weekend also.

I visited Fort McHenry for the first time. A Very Neat Place!

Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_McHenry to learn more.

The guy in green is a park ranger.... the others are in period dress... the ranger was giving a lecture on how the fort was used over the years... The War of 1812, Civil War, WWI etc.

This flag was HUGE! My picture does not do it justice.
Fort McHenry is the "birthplace" of the our

Firehouse Flags - and our Founder

Firehouse Flags and Founder..... try saying that 3 times fast!  It was a very windy day when I saw these flags flying at our local firehouse.  I was hoping to catch them both "full out". But it didn't quite happen that way. The top flag, of course, is the American Flag, the bottom is the State Flag of Virginia. The other picture is the historical marker that is located in downtown Blacksburg telling about the founder, William Black.
