"Callot was one of the first widely recognized artists to complete a work of art that displayed the horrors of war, period. You can't tell one side from the other. At the time he completed these etchings, the Spanish and Flemish had been tragically at war for decades. All you see in these etchings are the miserable things that people do to each other in war, including the tragedy of the soldiers, who often end up destitute and infirm. Prior to Callot, most artists depicted war and warriors as heroic or just. War is paradoxical. I believe it can be both horrific and miserable, as well as heroic and just. I appreciate my father's choice of the Iwo Jima flag, because it represents our freedom, which was only won through a war that took the lives of so many men and women. As a country, I believe we must stay strong and be prepared to fight." Tom Paper

**In the end these vile and lost thieves, as miserable fruits hanging on this tree
Show that the crime (horrible and dark sort) is itself an instrument of shame and revenge
And that it is the destiny of vicious men to experience sooner or later the justice of the heavens.
