Being a patriot or patriotism have nothing to do with politics. Its a love for your country it’s founding and history, good bad or indifferent a willingness to give your life to keep this dream alive for future generations. We truly have failed our forefathers and those who’ve given their lives, and we are indeed reaping what we have sowed. It’s truly sad most people today try to distill everything down politics … right wing vs left wing … We all should really be thinking in terms of freedom vs servitude and decide which you want.

The conflict technically started by the HMS Leopard firing on the USS Chesapeake in sight of the Virginia coast in US waters to kidnap crew in June 1807 in peacetime. That conflict was never settled diplomatically, nor with the 1807 US Embargo, and the war minister never apologized for it. Moreover an ambassador stated, "The United States is a nation of brief past and dubious future." It is funny how people have selective memory in history class.

@STho205 the Chesapeake Leopard Affair took place on June 22, 1807 although an incursion between military forces, there were many like it in the build up to the Declaration of war by the U.S. Congress on June 1st, 1812. The (one of) the first battles was a U.S. loss at the seige of Fort Mackinac (then in the Northwest Territories, now Michigan) in July of 1812. The conflict wasn't officially declared until almost 5 years after the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair. Some blame British Impressment of Americans into Naval service, some blame expansionism, some even blame the war between the UK and France...it could even be attributed to the frontier wars brewing at the time. It was a very unstable period for the French, British, and American nations for sure.

@@bryandevries7210 looked it up huh. Good for you. All new republics had frontier conflicts with the colonial empires and each other. This even happened in Switzerland centuries before. However the British passed orders to stop and pillage (sorry inspect) neutral shipping during the post 1803 phase of the war with Napoleon, ILLEGALLY. Canada, of course, at this time was not a nation, but a set of occupied French colonies won ten years before the US independence movement...so just British North America for many more decades to come. In the pre war era British were still garrisoning colonial forts on official US land acquired in the 1783 British surrender treaty...and guns were still being shipped into native American populations below the Great Lakes...as the Foreign Ministry Office in London felt it best to keep an armed Indian buffer state, but keep it on land they didn't possess (US land). This also allowed British Canadian garrisons above the lakes to drive Aboriginal populations down into Indiana, NY etc, away from their own narrow band of settlements along the border. Eventually fledgeling capitalism would make such border land wars no longer necessary, but the 1812 War was one of the last Merchantile, pre Capitalist wars. Today you simply invest abroad to obtain profits and vibrancy in a mutual benefit. We're better apart working together, than together working to be apart.

@@bryandevries7210 most wars are slow burns. The US Revolution started in conflicts in the early 1770s as the Tory Parliament was trying to find their East India Company at a cost to those in competition with it, like the North American free trade colonies. 5 years of friction and affront. WW2 took five years of aggression by Nazi Germany and frictions in the 20s between France/Belgium and Germany. The US/UK were in a proxy war with Japan over their aggression into Manchuria in the mid 30s...that eventually blew up into open war by Japan on Dec 7&8 of 41.

If this presentation was a part of my child’s education, I’d personally show up at the school to demand better. This is a fluff piece that literary mocks and celebrates the murder of my people for the crime of being free. The ranger literally says “we didn’t shy away from the Civil Rights Movement” a bald faced lie. As an African American, I’m deeply offended, and as a person who appreciates history I’m troubled because this is simply not how you do history. The blatant, intentional omissions are crafted to create a false view of America. This is not appropriate for history education.

This is not the full backstory. The part about the Black man who gave his life representing the nation coming together to defend itself was misleading. Key was a pro-slavery racist who embedded his racism the the song that is now our national anthem. During the war some enslaved people escaped (we can’t really say “defected” because these people were denied citizenship and treated as subhuman even as their labor and bodies were being exploited). They rightly and logically chose to acknowledge their own humanity and pursue freedom. Key mocked them and celebrated their murder in his song. So this feel-good song for you is just a reminder of the hatred and dehumanization that me and my ancestors have experienced for 400+ years on this soil. It’s a big, giant, star-spangled middle finger.

No, we don't always get it right. Man is not perfect, but yet we strive for perfection: for freedom, for justice, for the nobility intrinsic in each and every one of us.

Loved this episode. Maybe even more then the episode he was on the aircraft carrier. Every time I see the flag and hear our anthem playing I almost come to tears. A lot of family members have served to protect what that flag represents. Lot's of friends too so although I know you are to burn the flag if it touches the ground or gets ruined; I couldn't bring myself too it. Means too much to me to burn such a flag.

I'm fairly sure you aren't supposed to burn a flag just because it touches the ground. Keeping the flag off the ground is a sign of high respect for the flag and what it represents, but touching the ground doesn't "desecrate" the flag or cause it to become unusable. We burn flags that have become damaged or so worn as to reflect badly on their meaning. Generally it is done at a local level by a veteran's organization on an occasional basis when they collect enough retired flags to make sense to hold the ceremony. If I remember correctly, another honorable way to retire a flag is to bury it. If I'm wrong, someone can correct me.

I was born and raised around Annapolis, MD, and lived in state for my first 60 years. I moved three years ago. As a child I went to Ft. McHenry many times and was always fascinated with the history. I bought a little replica cannon from the gift shop as a child that still sits on my shelf. I took my children to the Fort several times. And my grand-children. And any friend or visitor who wanted to go. I've had a photo I took of the Fort used in Baltimore Magazine. There is nothing like watching the film in the Visitors Center about the Fort and the Anthem and at the end they start playing the Anthem as they open the wall of curtains and you see the Fort and Old Glory flying over Her. Always majestic.

Loved that you did this video. I may not always agree with our government on everything they do, but I will never stop believing in the United States of America and the Flag. I get chills when I hear the National Anthem and even more so when done in a traditional flag raising ceremony. I have had the honor to do many Flag Raising ceremonies as a Military Policeman (most notably at West Point) as well as having the honor of participating in the raising of the Garrison Flag as well. Thank you Mike for highlighting Fort McHenry. I have been there a couple of times and love it every time. God Bless you and God Bless America.

I was lucky enough to be in Baltimore for work. I was also lucky enough to be at Fort McHenry for the By centennial for our national anthem. It was and is the most emotional time for me to see the most spectacular celebration in my life.

Wow I didn’t know any of that!!!! Thank you for teaching me another new thing ❤❤❤ I have to say, I believe that the men and women who work as rangers in the national parks and historical parks are EASILY the most enthusiastic people in any field. I spoke with as many as I could when I went to the parks in Sedona, they’re all so passionate about their jobs and every single one of them LOVES talking about why their charge is so awesome and I’m so jealous of them lol I would love to love my job as much as them!!
