John Adams wrote to Abigail Adams: "...But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America - I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generation, as the great anniversary Festival, It out 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 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." I think John Adams was a prophet. He recognized the importance of the writing, reading and declaring of the Colonies independence. The fourth of July has always been an important holiday for me. I don't think being a history teacher is the only reason. I admire the strength, courage and dedication our forefathers and women had to make such an amazing proclamation. They risked all. They put it all on the line. They were willing to give up everything for what they believed in; what they believed was right. To John Adams and our forefathers and mothers - I salute you with these pictures that show John Adams was prophetic!
