A few are repeats, but there's some unique ones in this set. The Confederate soldier next to the jet fighter was really fascinating when you think of the technology advances that one man had seen in his lifetime.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
