As the Baltimore Orioles settle in for the third and final game of their three-game set, I’m reminded that today is Flag Day. While it may come off as any other day, here in Baltimore, the home of the national anthem, it’s a bit more serious. There’s no greater symbol of our country than the Stars and Stripes flying proud and free over a baseball diamond.
So on that note my mind drifts to perhaps one of the coolest traditions down in DC, which annually brings Democrats and Republicans together. Well, perhaps not together, as they’re technically competing against each other – but in a different sense.
