By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
--

I like the phrase "shot heard 'round the world," and I don't think there's any doubt the Oklahoma City blast was heard around the world.
Timothy McVeigh
We seemed to see our flag unfurled,
Our champion waiting in his place
For the last battle of the world,
The Armageddon of the race.John Greenleaf Whittier
Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain,
Like other farmers, flourish and complain.George Crabbe
"I shot him in the brain. I stood over him and fired into his head." "Yes, and he's apparently unhappy about that."
Warren Ellis
I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madam C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge.
