Happy Independence Day to PilotNation. Hoping your celebrations are safe and fun.
John Adams wrote: It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

It is my recollection from a high school history class that former President John Adams and former President Thomas Jefferson both died on Independence Day, July 4, 1826.

I also seem to remember they were the last surviving signatories to the Declaration of Independence exactly 50 years prior...
