John Adams' famous July 3, 1776 letter describing his thoughts on celebrating Independence Day:
"[Independence Day] 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."
So get out there and enjoy our celebration! 🇺🇸💥
