The miraculous parallel to this story is the angle of the flag in comparison to Iwo Jima. God has prepared & preserved us a nation.

Thanks for the post - always a good reminder. Not much of a detraction, but unfortunate that this particular rendition had some mispronunciation and a spelling error in the captioning.

Dang allergies!.😀 Thanks for posting this! A fellow named George Armistead was in command of Ft McHenry that evening. His nephew lead one of General Picket’s brigades a few years later at a place called Gettysburg. Lewis Armistead, the nephew, was mortally wounded after crossing that stone wall, now immortalized as The Angle. He was captured by the Yankees, and died two days later. (Every time I visit I leave a penny on the stone that marks the spot where he fell.) Lewis’s friendship,closer to brotherhood, with a Union General named WS Hancock has become a legend. Hancock commanded the troops who repelled the attack, and mortally wounded Lewis Armistead. The legend says that General Armistead passed on a few personal items, and an apology to Hancock as he was carried to a hospital on Cemetery Ridge. A watch and a Bible with the words “Trust in God and fear nothing” written on a fly leaf. I buy the legend and the friendship, but not the apology. He commanded a Rebel brigade In defense of his home. What did that man do that would need to be apologized for? Maybe he regretted hearing of General Hancock’s severe wound. I can understand that. But saying Lew Armistead was apologizing for his role in the war, as many suggest is a downright fairytale. Reon

Did the masonry restoration work there in 1994+/-. Used to go back from time to time... but not any more. Even gave away my https://www.gallon.com/shop/other-wars/war-of-1812/the-flag-is-full-of-stars-limited-edition-prints/ award... to a young USMC Capt. Memories...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Reloder posts the story of the Star Spangled Banner, and a week later the Francis Scott Key Bridge gets knocked down. Weird.

Reon The apology you mention General Armistead saying was actually his regrets to General Hancock that he had been wounded. At least that’s how I heard it.
