brFew, if any, people around the country take more pride in their state and its flag than Marylanders. The red, white, black and gold that emblazon the Calvert and Crossland family arms symbolize a historic tradition throughout the seventh state of the union. br
Maryland Day 2014 will be celebrated throughout Annapolis and southern Anne Arundel County this weekend from Friday, March 21st until Sunday, March 23rd. The weekend commemorates March 25th, 1634, the day English settlers first set foot on Maryland soil in St. Clements Island, which is now St. Mary’s County.
