Ruby Jason, 4, of Alexandria, Virginia, gets an eye-level view of the 30-by-42-foot garrison flag during a visit to Fort McHenry with her parents, Marc and Patricia Jason, left, and brother Owen, 7, right. After visitors watched the raising of a smaller, 17-by-25-foot modern storm flag, they unfolded this 1814 replica flag under the direction of Ranger Lynn McFarland. The weather for Independence Day will be mostly sunny with a high near 90. There’s a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3 p.m. and again before 9 p.m. Complete forecast in Sports, Page 12
