You may fire when you are ready, Gridley
1898
Lakeside Cemetery, Erie, Pennsylvania
Dewey said it to his flag captain at Manila Bay in May 1898 and it became one of the most quoted lines in American naval history, mostly because it is so calm. Gridley was already seriously ill and died on the way home a few weeks later. He had grown up in Erie and is buried here under a monument with the sentence on it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
