History tells us, however, that Jefferson had died shortly before John Adams passed away.
But Adams was right. All of us stand in tribute to the truth of those words.
We proclaim it again and again with our dedication to keeping this a land of
liberty and justice for all, and through our deeds and actions, to ensure that
this country remains a bastion of freedom, the last best hope for mankind.
As long as a love of liberty is emblazoned on our hearts, Jefferson lives."
~Ronald Reagan (July 3, 1987)
