Fairfax celebrates the Fourth
http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/article/20140626/ENTERTAINMENT/140629439/1117/fairfax-celebrates-the-fourth&template=fairfaxTimes

On the evening of Sept. 13, 1814, lawyer Frances Scott Key was dining aboard a British ship, negotiating the release of American prisoners in the War of 1812, when he was detained. From the deck of the HMS Surprise and later the HMS Minden, Key became a witness to history, watching British troops bombard Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore.

As the legend goes, Key was so moved when early the next morning he caught sight of the American flag “so gallantly streaming” above the fort, he sat down and composed a poem that in 1931 would become his country’s national anthem. That inspirational flag – known as the Great Garrison flag – is housed in the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

This year, as Fairfax skies are illuminated by the red glare of fireworks exploding in dazzling hues, many of us will sing and others will recall the words of the anthem celebrating those “broad stripes and bright stars,” still waving 200 years later. After a day of picnics, parades and performances, twilight is a good time to ponder our fight to remain free.

In the event of rain, fireworks only will be rescheduled for July 5.
