and three, the american legion. o we are here. and right here leave you walking away with appreciation for what baltimore represents. an appreciation for all this because this is a really important year. this year, 2015, 200 years ago, really was the year of reflex -- reflection. 2015, about 1815, the cornerstone was laid for a very important monument which still stands about a half a mile up the road, up calvert street. and if you get some time i would ask you to visit it. called the battle monument. it's also sometimes called the baltimore monument. and if you look at the monument, you can see on top of the monument lady baltimore stands with a laurel wreath t looks like the letter o for the orioles, but really it's the laurel wreath. that was put up there to honor of s, the defenders baltimore from 1814. last year we had our huge bicentennial commemoration of the successful defense of baltimore from the british and the writing of the the "star spangled banner." so if you forget everything that you experience here this weekend,
