Defenders Day is a special day on September 12th in Maryland, U.S.A. It remembers a big battle that happened in 1814 during the War of 1812. In this battle, American soldiers, or "defenders," protected the city of Baltimore from British attack. The fight included the famous defense of Fort McHenry, which inspired the song "The Star-Spangled Banner," the U.S. national anthem. People celebrate by watching parades, reenactments, and fireworks to honor the bravery and courage of those who defended their home. It's a day to feel proud and remember how people stood up to protect their country.

As the sun sets, watch a mini-fireworks display or make a small bonfire to roast marshmallows. Take lots of pictures to remember the happy day. End the day with everyone sharing one thing they're thankful for about living in your country.
