The “SOUL” of America defined thru a historical lens on her birthday. AND The Fourth of July has the strange distinction of being the day that three presidents died. Two of them—John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—passed just five hours apart in 1826. The third, James Monroe, died exactly five years later. One could say as Founding Fathers all, each lived to see our country born and thrive and each died on the very day of it’s birth truly living and dying for their country.
