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 remember that. I was supposed to observe an SF Reserve unit jump in the Chicago area. Members of the reserve C-130 unit supplying the jump bird were aboard that plane. Jump canceled. RIP
Naw, obviously a staged photo. Real Aerospace Propulsion Airman would have the proper tools. Claw hammer, adjustable wrench, couple a bent screwdrivers, a purloined steak knife and a pair of worn-out "plowers".
