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.

ReplyDeleteYes, that is the Tower in this photo taken from the forecastle of HMS Belfast.
ReplyDeleteI lived in the marina across the street from the Tower, St Katherine's Dock for the last three years of my tour in London. USN never again...
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I was there on Tuesday. A really nice tour.
