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.
The day that I arrived in Vietnam (Jan 15, 1968), this is one of the first things that I saw on the Da Nang flight line. It gave me chills then and it still does today.
I was stationed in Kansan in 68. Chuck Yeagers clowns from Texas who flew F-4s. When you’re living in a tent and these fuckers crack the burners, you hear it.
I worked on the manned bombing/gunnery ranges in Gila Bend AFAF, Arizona from 1979 till 1981 and the Phantoms were a regular feature then. When they established radio contact with our range, we would scan the mountains for their tell-tale smoke trails, before we could actually SEE the aircraft. Great memories.
