At 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, April 13, 1813, "amid a salvo from batteries and gunboats," THE AMERICAN FLAG rose for THE FIRST TIME over the Spanish fort in Mobile. I've been told by THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY @ The Museum of Mobile that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do they plan to commemorate the bicentennial of this event on Saturday afternoon, April 13, 2013!!!!
