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.

When he was a boy, my dad saw this airship as it flew over Clifton on its way to Lakehurst. He said the sound of her engines announced her presence as she covered the sky and that the event was phenomenal.

Haunting.
