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.
I've got that knife. It belonged to my late step-uncle who was a retired Artillery Sgt who served in combat in Korea and 2 tours in Viet Nam and ended up with an Air Medal for Forward Air Control action as well as 3 Bronze Stars. (I think they give you one and then add oak leaves for the other awards). Most humble man you ever met in your life.
I have that boyscout knife stored in my safe. Wish I had the coin.

The coins are not that all expensive. Silver 50 cent piece and buffalo nickel
