Rest in peace, Pete . . . you've earned it. America has lost one of those rare heroes who had the courage to tell those in power where to stick it, and I despair for a nation founded by such heroes which now views them in such poor light, and attempts to dissuade others from sailing a similar course.

Well said Thomas. Pete was a heck of a man, giving in so many ways. Rest in Peace Pete, thank you for stiring our mind and our souls.
