Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776, "Had a Declaration..."

...I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. 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 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more...

The president, our service personnel, law enforcement, volunteers, Christopher Maccio, the honorees, all involved delivered in very fine fashion, despite the curveball the weather threw them.

It was a glorious day and evening.

And God bless them for it.

BTW, Mr. President, we haven’t been able to attend an airshow in quite a while.

That one yesterday was mighty fine, wasn’t it...
