MA H3828

Massachusetts General Court resolution urging U.S. Congress to declare Quincy, MA as the "most patriotic city in America"

Quincy is the only U.S. community that is both the birthplace and final resting place of two presidents (John Adams and John Quincy Adams) and two First Ladies

City claims significant Revolutionary War heritage: birthplace of John Hancock, home to two Declaration of Independence signers, location where the Massachusetts Constitution was written, and Hancock Cemetery contains 69 Revolutionary War veterans

Quincy contributed to WWII efforts through two shipyards, produced two Medal of Honor recipients from North Quincy High School, and originated the phrase "Kilroy Was Here" at Fore River Shipyard

Resolution directs copies be sent to the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Massachusetts Congressional delegation
