A pencil drawing of a modern reconstruction of a Roman Eagle Standard known also as an Aquila.

An aquila (Latin for eagle) was a prominent symbol used in ancient Rome, especially as the standard of a Roman legion. A legionary known as an aquilifer, or eagle-bearer, carried this standard. Each legion carried one eagle.

The eagle was extremely important to the Roman military, beyond merely being a symbol of a legion. A lost standard was considered an extremely grave occurrence, and the Roman military often went to great lengths to both protect a standard and to recover it if lost; for example, see the aftermath of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, where the Romans spent decades attempting to recover the lost standards of three legions.

Α pencil drawing of the “Guardianship” statue, an outdoor sculpture made in 1935 by American artist James Earle Fraser, installed on the southeast corner in front of the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. Modeled by Sidney B. Waugh, carved by the Gino A. Ratti Company.

A seated allegorical muscular male figure representing Guardianship holds the helmet of protection in his right hand and a sheathed sword and fasces, the symbol of governmental power, in his left hand. For protection he is wearing a lion skin.

Carved in the pedestal relief around the base are images of weapons and helmets, a quiver with arrows, a sword, and a shield. These convey the need to protect the historical record for future generations.

The inscription on the base is attributed to Thomas Jefferson : ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

On this day November 20, 1936, José Antonio Primo de Rivera was executed.

A pencil drawing of José Antonio Primo de Rivera y Sáenz de Heredia, 1st Duke of Primo de Rivera, 3rd Marquess of Estella (24 April 1903 – 20 November 1936).

Often referred to simply as José Antonio, a Spanish politician who founded the Falange Española (“Spanish Phalanx”), later Falange Española de las JONS.

Imprisoned before the start of the Spanish Civil War, sentenced to death and executed during the first months of the war.

In life, he held the nobiliary title of 3rd Marquess of Estella, Grandee of Spain. In 1948, he was posthumously bestowed the title of Duke of Primo de Rivera.

The image of José Antonio was revered during the war by the Nationalist faction and, after the establishment of Francoist Spain, he was regarded as a martyr, his figure being a tool of the Francoist propaganda apparatus. The inscription of “José Antonio ¡Presente!” could be found in many churches all across Spain.

"My tendency to turn away from a person when I feel love for him is as if his image had developed so strongly within me that it no longer comports with his physical proximity. The man who kills his beloved chooses to take his own picture by erasing it. Perhaps the immortals behave in this way towards us. Death in common is always a meaningful act – in Villiers de L'Isle-Adam's Axel it is beautifully described. In this Kleist is like someone who is in a hurry; he takes with him the first person he meets. 'Today you will be with me in Paradise.' This also applies to the bad thief – only he is not allowed to say it out loud."
— Jünger, Radiations II

"I once met an archeologist and he said to me 'communism is not an ideology but a race' and I asked him, 'what do you mean by that' and in very serious voice he said, 'their bones look different, I have never seen a communist that had the same body structure like other people.'"
