I spent a 4th of July weekend in Philadelphia, Annapolis, Baltimore , and Washington DC once, couldn't have had a better Holliday! My father, a SGT. In WWII, who fought in the battle of the bulge, for freedom, is rolling over in his grave at the TRAITORS now in charge.
So was mine. 102nd Infantry Division. 2 Purple Hearts. Battle of the Bulge. France-Holland-Belgium-Germany. A nice European vacation.
LOL! Not sure about my dad's outfit. He didn't talk a lot about his service. He did sit my down and tell me a few things that he wanted me to know. He landed 2nd day, he was in charge of a motor pool for jeeps, he was assigned Pattons 3rd army during the battle, that the war
That the white soldiers treated the German prisoner's better than thier black counter parts. But him and my mom raised us not to be prejudiced. That those who are our small people, and that were much more than That! Thank you for your dad's service!
My dad’s mother was African American. So yes, we were there. Mixed race people were not invented by Millenials!
Awesome!
1. On Jan 1, 1812, Adams sent a letter to Jefferson that reopened their friendship. The hundreds of letters between the 2 of them after that are to be treasured. Jefferson: “A letter from you calls up recollections very dear to my mind. It carries me back to the times when,
2. ...beset w difficulties and dangers, we were fellow laborers in the same cause, struggling for what is most valuable to man, his right of self-government.” The letters that followed between them are precious, ending in Adams final letter to him on April 17th, 1826.
Because he hadn’t checked his phone for the text from Monticello, John Adams last words were “Thomas Jefferson survives”
I think only Paul Giametti could have convinced me that the two Adams I knew historically - the cranky politician and the loving husband of the magnificent Abigail - could blend into one.
He was masterful in the role. As was Laura Linney, Stephen Dillane, and Tom Wilkinson.
I enjoyed that series, but I wish they had given off-camera narration of the letters between John and Abigail, which I hear are literary and historical gems, esp. Abigail's.
James Monroe as well..July 4th 1831 2nd, 3rd & 5th Presidents
As well as also being in the “Washington Crossing the Delaware “ painting
Holding the flag!
This fact has always amazed me. Plus - perhaps apocryphal? - final words from JA: "Jefferson still lives." Final words from TJ: "Is it the Fourth?"
