July 4, 2011 - quote of the day
One of our Nation’s Founding Fathers and our 2nd U.S. president, John Adams, left us these words to consider this Fourth of July:
“You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.”
Both Adams and his political rival, Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd U.S. President, died on July 4th, 1826.
