Sailors from the USS Constitution and Soldiers from the U.S. Army Presidential Salute Battery, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) unfurl a 30-foot by 42-foot Star Spangled Banner Flag replica during Fort McHenry’s By Dawn’s Early Light program, in support of the Star-Spangled Spectacular. The event celebrates the bicentennial of the Battle of Baltimore which provided the inspiration for Francis Scott Key's famous poem, "Defence of Fort McHenry," which later became America's national anthem. Along with more than 30 ships from the U.S. and foreign nations, the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels aircraft will be on display and open to the public.
