Vince Vaise of the National Park Service is one of the leading authorities on the history of Fort McHenry. (CR file)

In honor of Flag Day, Vince Vaise, one of the world’s foremost experts on the history of the Battle of Baltimore and Fort McHenry, talks with George Matysek about the fascinating history of the battle that inspired our national anthem and shares Catholic connections in the fort’s long history — including during the Civil War. Vaise also gives parents some practical tips about helping their children get engaged with history.

Vaise is a parishioner of St. Philip Neri in Linthicum who serves as chief of visitor services for the National Park Service’s National Capital Parks-East. He previously spent nearly three decades at Fort McHenry, including many years serving as the Park Service’s chief of interpretation.

Listen to the full show below.
