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.

It's amazing that they could move that much steel around and get it floating again.

ReplyDeleteA friend a vet and I were talking this weekend. Neither of us heard or saw a reference on Thursday to 7 December 1941 on the MSM News.....Sad!
