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.

USS John F. Kennedy CV-67 - Heading To Texas For Disassembly. Respect to all who served.
You must have been aboard when the Belknap collided with the JFK. My former DivO was the OOD of the Belknap when it collided with the JFK. He ended up being cashiered and now runs a marina in Virginia.
Assigned to VF-32 aboard "Big John"
