Photos from Fort McHenry All photographs by Sharon Farmer
The First Lady Hillary tours Fort McHenry, where a three-story
American flag waved throughout the night of September 13 - 14, 1814
in defiance to an assault by the British. When Francis Scott Key saw
the flag flying, he was inspired to write words that became the Star-Spangled
Banner.
The First Lady delivers remarks aside the Francis Scott
Key Memorial, a 1911 monument created to honor our national anthem,
"The Star-Spangled Banner," and its author.
