While looking through The Times, I came across several articles here, here and here on the various events that the British are partaking in on their bicentennial celebrations of Lord Horatio Nelson's defeat of the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar. Thanks to the brave guidance of Lord Nelson, the British navy, with its 27 ships was able to destroy some 18 out of 33 ships of the French/Spanish Fleet with minor casualties and the loss of zero ships thus ending Napoleon's naval conquest of the British Isles thus opening the door for the British Empire's un-paralleled dominance over the sea from the 1800's well into WWII. So thank you Lord Nelson for your splendid victory and demonstrating the freedom will always prevail over the forces of tyranny.
