John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two of the key individuals central to the Declaration of Independence ... they each served as ambassadors, vice presidents, and presidents in the early days of the country ... initially, they were antagonistic to one another and did not get on well, though in later years that changed and they became extremely friendly with one another and their correspondence is absolutely fascinating to read ... It has always been fascinating to me that both of them died on July 4th, 1826, the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration.
As we celebrate the 241st Anniversary, I can only wish there were more like them ...
