[TPR] OUR GREAT FLAG

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Well said Mike, Chuck and Brian....
I am always touched by the  'little' stars and stripes in small corners of the 
third world where a contractor or GI has posted his colors. I've seen them in 
private quarters next to a bunk and on everything else from gen sets to 
bulldozers in Afghan, Iraq and Saudi. They are always pretty small but you get 
that same lump in your throat.
 
You guys up now? ;-)

Great story but it is Fort McHenry NOT Henry.  I cringed every time he said 
Henry.
 
If you every want to get chill bumps and try and try to hide the tear in your 
eye visit Ft. McHenry on a clear windy day and before they finish building the 
new visitors center.  In the old visitors center you set in a little theater and 
watch a video presentation of the same history of the flag that this guy tells.  
Then at the end with the star spangled banner playing the curtains on the side 
of the theater open and there is a huge old glory waving in the wind above Ft. 
McHenry.  Pretty dang touching.  It is just outside Baltimore and well worth the 
visit.
 
I have a flag that has been flown over Ft. McHenry.

Dear Bud,
 
              Now you’ve done it.  You’ve brought a tear my eye.   I never knew 
the story of Francis Scott Key and the battle at Ft. Henry details.  I thank you 
kindly for sharing.
 
 
                           Warmest regards and Happy New Year,  Chuck Engles
