Pride II

I attended the Star Spangled Spectacular celebration in Baltimore over the weekend of September 13-16, 2014. The event included visits by US and allied Naval vessels, tall ships, and living history events at Fort McHenry. The celebration commemorated the 200th anniversary of the bombardment of Ft McHenry during the War of 1812 and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner.
