Today is Constitution Day (also known as Citizenship Day) in the United States. This is one of my favorite days of our year. This is a federal observance that recognises the ratification of The Constitution of The United States on September 17th, 1787.

This is the day we became a nation; one people united under a common law that was meant to govern us all equally.

I think a lot of us either over look this day, or in many cases didn’t even know it existed in the first place. Grant it, it is a fairly new observance, this only being the 4th year it has been celebrated as federal law. But still I feel it is an important day.

Remembrance of where we come from, and who we were, shows us where we are going and reminds us of who we are.
