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.
Got a buddy ended up served multiple times on the USC, as he was rather short, he was right at the minimum height requirement. Told a lot of tales about what a gravy post it was. They even gave him a couple extra over max, made an excellent Bosons Mate from what he mentioned about his years serving on it.
A few years ago, my US Marine Vietnam tankers association held a reunion just south of Boston. Several of us drove up to Boston Harbor and toured "Old Ironsides." What an amazing ship.
