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.

I was going to do this back when I was CO of a mobile unit. A couple of chairs, a bottle of wine and the little fountain from my back patio in front of the tents on the beach. Couldn't wrestle the fountain away from X. To bad. It would have been a great picture.
Do you wish another glass of wine Sir, or shall we shove off?
