Extract

Near the drive that leads-to the top of Monticello a simple monument marks the grave of the third President of the United States. The inscription names the three services for which Thomas Jefferson wished to be remembered: author of the Virginia Statute of Religious Liberty and of the Declaration of American Independence, and father of the University of Virginia. The first two cleared the way to new heights of spiritual and political freedom. The other envisioned a trained and dedicated leadership for an intelligent citizenry.
