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.

DeleteThat's the damnedest Navy picture I ever saw.
ReplyDeleteAnd upon seeing a picture of that in the Pentagon 50 years later, a young Nick Fury said "I've got a great idea...!"
ReplyDeleteThe picture is not real. There was a landing, but it was on the stern of the carrier.
