On July 3, 1776, the day following the approval by Congress of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail:
"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty."
-from "America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations" p.200
Remember that as you celebrate Independence Day, it was in its declaration, considered to be a day of deliverance from an evil tyrant, by the protection of Divine Providence.
