Thanks to Netflix, John and I are currently watching the HBO miniseries, John Adams. Living so near Adams' birthplace, I appreciate this series more than I might if I still lived in California. Nevertheless, I wish every American would watch it. We need to see how hard the battle for independence from Britain really was, and how hard our forefathers worked to build our amazing country.
Tomorrow we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. May this clip from John Adams enrich your understanding of this glorious event.
And, as we keep the past with us, may we again be the country that our forefathers envisioned.
“So much for Christmas”

Ed and I love this movie, and we even purchased it at Costco last Christmas (really good price!). We haven't been able to watch it much ourselves as we keep loaning it out to everyone. :D
I love the little silence they had when the measure passed. I can see that being true to history. You can just imagine them all thinking "If this goes south, they're going to kill us all." Quite a sobering moment.
