Use of Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Maryland as a backdrop for Vice President Mike Pence's address to the Republican National Convention this week drew criticism from the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks.
A week ago the Coalition sent a letter to the National Park Service's acting director, Margaret Everson, expressing concerns over the appropriateness of conducting a political event at a unit of the National Park System, and cited damage to the monument believed to have been done by equipment used to set up for this week's event.
