When I saw the Dave Granlund cartoon, I couldn't help but think of Barbara Fritchie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Fritchie_(person)
. I don't think they teach things like this in Public school anymore.

Morning Ping

In stories it is said that at 95 years of age she waved the Union flag out of her window despite opposition from Stonewall Jackson's troops, who were passing through Frederick in the Maryland Campaign. This event is the subject of John Greenleaf Whittier’s poem of 1864, Barbara Frietchie.
“Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag,” she said.
A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word;
“Who touches a hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog! March on!” he said.
