Quelling rebellions since 1775, eh Mike? ;-)....might have to find a tee-shirt for that. Had some family in the same buisness and some on the other side, lol.
Mass may be in a bad state, at least by your and my political and social views, but I think the blood of Lt. Colonel Holmes, Col. Washburn and General Barton, ( I know he was a New Yorker) but his mother was from Mass. still must be running in someone's blood there.
