Atlanta
July 2003		     Of course, it's the Fourth of July and appropriately there are a variety of patriotic celebrations before and after the game.  One "crowd pleaser" is the fly over by four jet fighters.  Unfortunately, we didn't know what direction they were coming from and by the time we saw them, they were nearly gone, but I did manage to catch a fleeting photo as they passed over the stadium.

The other ceremony is the unfurling of the flag prior to the game which is accompanied by the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.

The flag is presented by members of the military services stationed in Atlanta.
