And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Around the Ottawa Valley
Beginning in early October, Lanark County which is just West of Ottawa, puts up banners on the utility poles in its towns and villages to remember local residents who have served in the armed forces. Perth has an excellent collection of these and a couple of years ago, I saw this one for Herbert Taylor Reade, Victoria Cross. We were in Perth ten days ago and it has been put up again. One short block has five family members who served in World War 2.
Thanks, Steve!
