My Country

For John, BLUF:  Words to live by.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

One of my favorite historic figures is Carl Schurz, Union General, US Ambassador, US Senator, and Federal Cabinet Secretary.  Not bad for a man with the good sense to leave Europe after the events of 1848.

While serving in the US Senate he said (not on the Fourth):

My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.

Happy Fourth
