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.

Yeah, if his exit body position wasn't so terrible, he might not have had so much trouble. Obviously, not an American jumper.
ReplyDeleteLooks like 'brush stroke' camouflage so maybe a Brit?
