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.

VMF-112 ‘Wolfpack’ Pilot Lt. Jimmy Johnson, Guadalcanal, 1943.
My father (Colonel James Johnson VMF-112 Guadalcanal pilot) retired in 1968. He was an Olympic Class hurdler at Univ of Missouri. Per Mark P's "cheap" comment... at time of photo shown he was still suffering from effects of malaria.
Sure looks like Barry Soetoro.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the uniform. Doubt the Marines would have taken him, even during wartime.

ReplyDeleteCan't be Barry, his wrist's not limp.
