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.

When my father was stationed at Hancock Field just outside of Syracuse, NY, we lived in Brewerton... about 30 minutes north of the city. Interstate 81 was a few hundred yards from out front porch. The I-81 bridge that went over a section of the Erie Canal was also nearby. In the summer (not the winter), the neighborhood kids would walk onto the bridge and jump off into the canal water. I did it a few time, but it really scared me.
