It was found that the rampart took many direct hits from the British ships. Every time it was again raised HUMANLY.
When the shelling was over, Francis Scott Keyes saw for himself why the flag still stood at the odd angle it did. The rampart was held by the stacks of patriot bodies that gave their lives to make sure it stayed flying.
Few exist today who would give their lives to see our Country flourish. Most think they "deserve" everything. Pitiful!
It's a different time and a sad one.
My older friends say they are GLAD that they are old and won't be around to see the demise. They Lived through the best time possible.
I see no hope unless Reagan is resurrected!
