Aeon principal Alfonso Narvaez attended another ribbon cutting just down the street from our office to celebrate the opening of the Star Spangled Banner Trail in Maryland. The event, held at Bladenburg’s Waterfront Park included an unfurling of a full-size replica of the Star Spangled Banner and such luminaries as Governor Martin O’Malley, Congresswoman Donna Edwards, County Executive Rushern Baker and other local politicians. Aeon and Independent Custom Metalworks of Bladensburg donated a replica of a Congreve Rocket to the visitor center and have been supporting related local tourism efforts by the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area and the Potomac River Heritage Tourism Alliance.
