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.

When I die, not any run of the mill headstone for me. Something like this...
Written in ancient Norse using Upland runes. Oh, yes.
Although I am biologically (I was adopted) descended from Vikings, I prefer my grave to be marked in the same manner as my father, with a United States Army war veteran stone, something I truly earned, since at a time of great national controversy, so many others of my age refused to go where I went, or to do what I did.
I'm good with that as well.
