The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

My grandfather who died in 1977 use to tell me about the sensational Wright brothers Kitty hawk flight. He was 7 at the time they took to the air. He participated in WW-I and lived through WW-II, Korea and Vietnam. Funny how you tend to mark history by global conflicts.
