In 1960, with the addition of Alaska and Hawaii to the Union, President Eisenhower ordered a new design and arrangement of the stars in the Union. On July 4, 1960, the 50 star flag was raised over the Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore Maryland.
During the 1960’s, Zambelli Fireworks was proud to be a part of the “Dawn’s Early Light” program commemorating the 1st shot toward Fort McHenry which was fired on September 13th at 6:00PM.
