Fishermen's Village is key to our survival. We need to stay there. We've been good to them in the four years we've been there. Right now, there's a war going on and we're losing servicemen and women. It's not the proper time to be throwing the military museum out in the street and dishonoring veterans in anyway. (Quote by - David Klein)
