It's over, but the official U.S. commemoration of the bicentennial of the War of 1812, kicked off in New Orleans during Navy week, now ended. It began here because it sort of ended here (well, the war was already over, but this was the last fighting).
Other commemorative events are planned in Chicago, Milwaukee, Toledo, Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo on the Great Lakes.
Of course, there is also the fighting that took place in Washington, D.C. and Maryland, which will probably be the largest.
So It begins. --Brock=Perry
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
