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?

Granpappy wore that badge. Up in Seattle he was point man on busting a prostitution/jewelry/bootleg hootch gang run out of the stevedore union (go figure) and was given a new ident. That's how we got our last name.
The ironic part is my other granpappy was a stevedore working to bust the union from the inside. No, he had no part of that criminal scheme.
