At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country's prior actions, here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country. This is one of several responses that is a classic.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when

DE Gaulle Did not respond.
