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.

ReplyDeleteSpent a summer flying salmon in Alaska. Greatest place in the world. Wish I had been able to just stay there and let the world go by.

ReplyDeleteI love my Alaska.
