Flag Flies Continuously At Keysville Terra Rubra
The American flag remains jammed at the top of its staff at Terra Rubra farm near Keysville Maryland. Owner Roy E Baumgardner did not remove the flag despite not needing to conform to sunset rituals.

Other sites include the Capitol Building Worchester War Memorial Fort McHenry and Mount Olivet Cemetery.
