Patriots!
Please post any links or clips of any good JPJ trivia you can find here on this thread.
The mass media, over the past 30 years, is trying to phase John Paul Jones out of the pantheon of American heros. Many people today under the age of 35 have not ever heard of him. When I was a kid everyone knew his name.

Yup, every time I play Sins of a Solar Empire, I always name my second capital ship after John Paul Jones. The first ship is of course named Washington.
Plus he has a good tasting whiskey named after him.

An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood; but, if this War should continue, I wish to have the most active part in it.

I have not yet begun to fight!
John Paul Jones
I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.
John Paul Jones
It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.
John Paul Jones
Whoever can surprise well must conquer.
