Bill > H3128

This bill urges the United States Congress to officially declare the city of Quincy, Massachusetts, as the most patriotic city in America. The resolutions highlight Quincy's significant historical contributions to the nation, including being the birthplace and final resting place of two U.S. Presidents (John Adams and John Quincy Adams), the home of the first presidential library, and the birthplace of John Hancock, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. It also notes Quincy's role in shipbuilding during World Wars I and II, the origin of the patriotic phrase "Kilroy Was Here," and its continuous tradition of patriotic celebrations like the oldest Flag Day parade in the nation. The bill further emphasizes Quincy's connection to the Massachusetts Constitution, the world's oldest existing constitution, and its residents' ongoing service to the country. Finally, it directs that copies of these resolutions be sent to key federal officials and the Massachusetts Congressional delegation.
