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.
Reminds me, Medal of Honor awardee Capt. Thomas J. Hudner, Jr., was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery last Wednesday. He was the pilot who purposely crash landed a perfectly good aircraft in North Korea in an attempt to save a fellow pilot who had been shot down. This incident occurred near the Chosin reservoir in 1950.
