A view of the Perry Monument from on the lake

DID YOU KNOW...?

Excerpt;

When President Thomas Jefferson decreased the size of the Navy in 1801, Oliver Hazard Perry was one of only 150 midshipmen retained.

Seems like Jefferson made a very wise choice.

It's the men and women who stick with the military through the lean times that seem to end up being the best.

Another tribute to Commodore Perry on the shores of Lake Erie!
