Here is an interesting tidbit I saw on Fox News this morning.  On this date in 1826, we lost our second and third president on the same day within hours of each other.   Monroe died on July 4 of 1831, and Coolidge was born on July 4, 1872.  I had no idea July 4th had such an intriguing tie-in to our presidents.
