Thanks

for the reminder!

You would think this day would hold a higher importance and celebrated more than Labor Day, yet most Americans, myself included (I'll sadly admit my ignorance), don't know anything about it.... :sad20:

Fix it for me. Time to spread the word.

I will celebrate by buying something firearm related today.

Thank You!

Ben Carson has a good and interesting editorial on Constitution Day in the Washington Times:

I am guilty of not remembering the date. My 9 year old daughter told me last night that her teacher asked the kids to wear Red, White, & Blue on 9/17. When I asked why she promptly reminded me that it was Celebrate Constitution Day. Needless to say I felt like a dumb ass.

I too am guilty of not remembering that today is Constitution Day and feel pretty bad about that. Not making excuses but whenever I think of the 17th of September the anniversary of the battle of Antietam (bloodiest single day in our history) comes to mind.

Thread revival ...

Sept 17th is rapidly approaching
WorldMag.com By Marvin Olasky -
Constitution Day is coming

Thursday, Sept. 17, is Constitution Day, the 228th anniversary of the signing day in 1787 that brought us the great document. But James Madison, often called the “Father of the Constitution,” saw one potential problem in it.

Madison hoped “the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America” would defend against oppression, but he wasn’t sure that spirit would last: “If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the legislature, as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate anything but liberty.”

Hmm. Are we there yet?

Read the WHOLE article and then reflect on this image ...

Happy Constitution Day!
