    Military Quotes

    Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war.

She operated in the Newport, Rhode Island, area for the rest of World War I. No longer needed after the Armistice, Patrol # 5 was sold in April 1919.
