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.

French Renault FT-17 tanks resting after an attack near Grisolles, 28 July 1918
In the 1950's, train station in Alexandria, Virginia had a WWI war memorial with a Renault tank as centerpiece. As a child, climbed all over that thing on many occasions. Sometime down the line do-gooders exiled the tank to an unknown location.
