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.
I asked my grandpa once if he wanted to see Europe again. He said it wouldn't be the same without being shot at and driving a tank. I asked him what the worst part of the war was. He looked at me and said "The French"
My Grandpa was born in France in the 1880's. My Dad asked my Great Grandfather in 1946 if he ever wanted to go back and see the old country. His comment was, We left there for a reason.
