June 9th, 1954-------------

---------------------------a day that will live in history.

From the infamous "Army-McCarthy" hearings, words said by attorney Joseph Welch that eventually brought down the evil Senator Joe McCarthy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

""Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. ... Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The courage of one man that brought down one of the most powerful and evil Senators of that time.

In the annals of freedom and liberty, the name of Joseph Nye Welch will be forever engraved in stone.
