Constitution Day is coming up on September 17, the day the members of the Constitution Convention signed the United States Constitution in 1787.  

Constitution Day is a unique opportunity to celebrate the Constitution and  the unprecedented liberty, peace, and prosperity its principles have protected for millions of Americans.  

This is a great time of year for patriotic parents to learn, and teach our children, more about what the United States Constitution says and reflect on how we can protect and preserve it.
