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?

Back in the day when I wore suits on a daily basis, all my shirts were french cuff style, and white, with medium starch. I have them still, and a nice collection of cuff links to go with them. Styling indeed!
Just look at their faces and attitude. THOSE are proud Americans boys and girls - not the wimpy ass punks you see today. In WW ll the French underground tried using American as spies against the Nazis and finally gave up because they said the Americans would not look down when a German approached them - they would look them straight in the eye. You could tell an American from a German or a Frenchman by their very demeanor. Think about that......
good old days
