I believe it is actually "Commodore" Steven Decatur. He fought in the Revolutionary Navy (American Revolution). He is notable as a valient Naval Officer, but he is immortalized for supossedly saying, from the deck of his Flag Ship, as he was about to engage the greatest Naval power in the world, Great Britain, "My Country, May She always be right, but My Country, right or wrong." It is quite a famous quote and a painting (by whom I'm not sure) hangs in many Naval facilties (I saw mine in an NROTC Building). I hope my memory isn't failing me and I haven't steered you wrong. My Naval Warfare Commander will have me running laps. I am, Art Grzelecki art@innovationthatsells.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Decatur Here is a citation on Steven Decatur. Turns out the "Famous quote" was nothing but a toast at a dinner party! Probably why it's so obscure. Commodore Decatur was not alive during the Revolutionary war. He engaged The British Navy several times during the war of 1812. I guess I'll go run my laps now. AG
