Thomas Jefferson war ein US-amerikanischer Gründervater und Präsident, der am 13. April 1743 geboren wurde und am 4. Juli 1826 verstarb. Er stammte aus einer wohlhabenden Familie und studierte Jura. Er heiratete Martha Wayles Skelton, hatte Kinder und zog nach dem Tod seiner Frau die überlebenden groß. DNA-Analysen belegten später, dass Jefferson während seiner Witwerschaft Kinder mit seiner Haussklavin Sally Hemings zeugte. Seine politische Laufbahn begann in den 1770er Jahren. Als Delegierter im Kontinentalkongress war Jefferson der Hauptverfasser der Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Danach setzte er sich in Virginia für Rechtsreformen und Religionsfreiheit ein und war Gouverneur. Er war von 1785 bis 1789 Botschafter in Paris. Zurück in den USA, ernannte ihn George Washington zum Außenminister. Konflikte mit Alexander Hamilton führten zur Bildung der ersten Parteien, woraufhin Jefferson sich 1793 zurückzog. 1796 wurde Jefferson Vizepräsident unter John Adams. Er widersetzte sich den "Alien and Sedition Acts" und betonte Einzelstaatenrechte. 1800 wurde er nach einer Stichwahl der dritte Präsident. In seiner ersten Amtszeit verdoppelten die USA ihr Territorium durch den Kauf von Louisiana sowie die Lewis-und-Clark-Expedition. Er reduzierte die Staatsschulden und sah die Justiz gestärkt. 1804 wiedergewählt, war seine zweite Amtszeit von Opposition und dem Scheitern des Embargo Acts geprägt. Nach zwei Amtszeiten zog er sich 1809 nach Monticello zurück. Im Ruhestand widmete er sich dem Ausbau seines Wohnsitzes, der Gründung der Universität von Virginia und Verkauf seiner Bibliothek. Gegen Lebensende plagten ihn finanzielle Sorgen und der Missouri-Kompromiss. Er verstarb am 4. Juli 1826.

Ich bin nicht einer von denen, die das Volk fürchten. Beim Volke und nicht bei den Reichen liegt die Sicherheit für dauernde Freiheit. Um seine Unabhängigkeit zu wahren, dürfen wir es nicht dulden, daß unsere Herrscher uns mit einer ewigen Schuld belasten. Wir müssen wählen zwischen Einfachheit und Freiheit, oder Verschwendung und Knechtschaft.

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D -- The majority of our nation's presidents hold the distinction of once being referred to as brothers-in-arms before they ever held the title of Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
In observance of President's Day, we present the following facts: Thirty-one of our 44 American presidents have served in the military, and 12 of them have been general officers (O-7 to O-11 with one, at least in theory, O-12).
The three presidents to hold the highest military ranks were: George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ulysses S. Grant, respectively.
Washington held the rank of lieutenant general (O-9) when he died, but in 1976, then-president Gerald R. Ford posthumously appointed him to General of the Armies of the United States.
The only other person to hold the same title was Gen. John J. Pershing, who retired on Sept. 13, 1924.
Although both Washington and Pershing received the same appointment, Washington is considered the higher-ranking officer as President Ford specified he would rank higher than all officers past, present and future. This special appointment would theoretically make Washington a six-star general - or O-12.
President Eisenhower reached the status of a five-star general while serving as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II (1942-1945). He is one of only nine U.S. officers to have worn the five-star insignia. In all, four Army generals, four Navy admirals, and one Air Force general have officially worn the five-star insignia.
President Grant served as lieutenant general until Congress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army on July 25, 1866. Although that title is associated with the five-star insignia, Grant held the position as a four-star general. He saw combat in both the Mexican-American War and the Civil War.
In addition to those who went on to achieve general officer ranks, ten of the presidents obtained the rank of colonel (O-6).
Two of those colonels were also two of our nation's Founding Fathers: Thomas Jefferson (third president) and James Madison (fourth president). Both were militia men.
Another president who served as an Army colonel was Theodore Roosevelt (26th president). During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt helped organized and command the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, better known as the Rough Riders. As a former president, Roosevelt volunteered for service in World War I, however, then-president Woodrow Wilson, declined Roosevelt's offer. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001.
Two of the presidents reached the pay grade of O-5. One of those O-5s was our 36th president and former Navy commander, Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ served during World War II and was presented a Silver Star medal by Army Gen. Douglas MacArthur for his role on a B-26 bomber mission. The other was President James Monroe (fifth president).
Two other presidents who had notable military service in the Navy were John F. Kennedy and George H. W. Bush, our 35th and 41st presidents respectively. Both men achieved the rank of lieutenant (O-3) and both served during World War II. JFK earned a Purple Heart and a Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroism.
Our 41st president, President George H. W. Bush, remains the youngest person to ever become an aviator in the U.S. Navy. The former Sailor also earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions during a mission. He completed his attack on Japanese military forces despite his aircraft catching fire and ultimately crashing.
President Bush's son, George W. Bush became our nation's 43rd president, but not before serving as a pilot in the Texas and Alabama Air National Guard. He is currently the only president to have served in the modern-day U.S. Air Force.
However, Ronald Reagan, our 40th president, was part of the Air Force's early history. Reagan served as a captain in the U.S. Army Air Force (also known as Army Air Corps). He helped make more than 400 training films when he was assigned to the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Culver City, Calif. He was discharged from active duty in 1945, prior to the Air Force becoming its own separate military service in 1947.
James Buchanan, our 15th president, held the lowest rank among our military presidents. He was a private (E-1) in the Army, and the only president who enlisted without becoming an officer. He saw combat during the War of 1812.
Buchanan's successor, President Abraham Lincoln, was a private in the Illinois State Militia. He fought in the Black Hawk War, and although his military service was only three months, he was elected to the rank of captain by his militia company. According to Renee Hylton, a historian for the National Guard Bureau, election of officers within militia units was a common practice at the times.

The seal adopted for use by Thomas Jefferson, Virginia politician and later President of the United States, in 1790. The seal bears Jefferson's initials and the motto: "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." The seal first appeared on a letter from Jefferson to Dr. Richard Gem on April 4, 1790, and Jefferson continued to use the seal for most purposes for the rest of his life.

Jefferson's law teacher and friend George Wythe had asked him in 1786 to investigate the family's coat-of-arms in Italy. Jefferson subsequently sent to Wythe a sketch of the arms of the Tagliaferro family of Italy, the information about which he had obtained from an Italian friend.
