William J. Clinton
XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Proclamation 6794 - Loyalty Day, 1995
April 29, 1995
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our country's rich diversity of peoples and cultures has been called "the noble experiment." From its beginnings, our great democracy has guaranteed its citizens the blessings of freedom and the right of self-determination. Each year, with the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature, we pause to consider the progress of our Nation and to reaffirm our allegiance to the American experiment.
Two hundred and twenty years ago in Lexington, Massachusetts, a ragged group of colonial Americans faced a column of British soldiers. As the smoke cleared from the "shot heard round the world," eight American "Minutemen" lay dead—their blood spilled along the path to a new Nation on this soil. Their gift of freedom is held sacred to this day.
All Americans can be proud of the heritage of courage and sacrifice that has extended unbroken through generations of our citizens. The success of the United States today is seen both in our continued prosperity and strength and in our role as an international beacon of liberty. As we recall those who gave their lives for our freedom, we see our Nation's history reflected in their ranks—from the tireless "Minutemen" in Lexington to the brave men and women who fought in the Persian Gulf.

Admiral: Lieutenant! Lt. Smash!

Fleet Admiral (United States)
Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy , or more commonly referred to as Fleet Admiral (FADM), is a five-star flag officer rank, and it is considered to be the highest possible rank in the United States Navy.
Fleet Admiral ranks immediately above admiral and is equivalent to General of the Army and General of the Air Force. The Fleet Admiral rank is reserved for wartime use only
In keeping with a tradition dating back to the 18th-century British Navy, a Fleet Admiral is entitled to full Admiral's pay and fringe benefits, including a small staff, for the remainder of his life.
All five-star officers are, technically, unable to retire from active duty.

Burns' Heir (1994)
[a stone suddenly crashes through Burns' library glass window, landing at his feet. He picks it up]
Mr. Burns: Oh, look. A bird has become petrified and lost its sense of direction.
Waylon Smithers: I think it is a rock, sir.
Mr. Burns: We'll see what the lab has to say about that.
