Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Tourists at Fort McHenry National Monument, Md., see a replica of the flag which inspired our national anthem. It has 15 stars and stripes.
Fort McHenry-where 1100 men saved a city . . . and wrote a song
Over most places, the flag flies from sunrise to
sunset, but at Fort McHenry in Baltimore it flies
day and night. There's a reason for it.
Here, in 1814, 1100 gallant defenders were bombarded
for 25 hours by the British fleet. At dawn
the flag still flew. . . the attack was repulsed and the
city was saved. It was then that Francis Scott Key,
inspired by the American colors still flying, wrote
"The Star-Spangled Banner."
Today, Fort McHenry, under the supervision of the
National Park Service, offers visitors a fine example
of l8th century military architecture. In its
museums are interesting relics of the War of 1812,
the Bowie Collection of Firearms and a collection
of original flags. Within easy driving distance are
many other sights worth seeing including Annapolis,
Civil War battlefields, famous universities, museums
and the amazing Sherwood Gardens.
But the greatest sight is still the banner waving over
the ramparts 24 hours a day-a tribute to the men
who stayed on their feet and slugged it out in defense
of liberty, and to the song they helped to write.
Americans have stood up and fought for freedom
ever since. Maybe that's why we all get to our feet
whenever "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played.
