“’Every American child is taught the history of John Paul Jones so it could become a site of significant historical pilgrimage.’”

Maybe 40-50 years ago but not today.

I remember watching a John Paul Jones biographical movie with Robert Stack playing Jones when I was a kid.

They need to make their pilgrimage to John Paul Jones' tomb at the US Naval Academy. It's in a grotto beneath the floor of the Chapel Dome at Annapolis. I spent a lot of time there whenever the stress of the Academy got too much for me.

I'm glad I saw your comment first. Saved me from saying the same thing.
