This is the actual flag that inspired America's National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. These photos don't do the flag justice, it is an awesome sight to see in person. The ragged condition it is in is due to people cutting small pieces off to keep as momentos.

VBG is right (as usual!). The pictures of this flag do not do it justice. I have been to Ft. McHenry and saw the flag. The sight is breathtaking. If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the battle rage and picture F.S. Key putting ink to paper to create the famous poem that would become the Star Spangled Banner.
