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.
Had a family friend that worked in the Mighty Eighth's photo lab, came home with his war bride, fiercely British lass. He gave me around 60 bombing photos from B-17s and B24s. Had one of them signed at an airshow by the pilot of the Memphis Belle. Offered them on loan to the Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler GA. They weren't interested.!?
