Inside the Powder Chamber
Junior Officer’s quarters
Holding the flag
Getting ready to unroll it
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
o’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly sreaming.
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night, that our flag was stll there.
O say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
and the home of the brave
Our park ranger
Rolling up the flag
Enlisted Men’s barracks
The flag flies over the fort
The original cross pieces that anchored the flag during the bombardment
The earthworks. Civil war era
Walking on the walk around the bastions
Looking back at the fort.
As my brothers would say, “Great Sky”
Enlisted men’s quarters
