Your welcome and thank you for your support!

It's sad that no one seems to care that today was Constitution day.

Very sad indeed!

Thanks marineinspector,

I didn't know there was a Constitution Day. Thanks to you I was able to catch this one.

I suppose this would be a good thing to ask our children about. How did you celebrate Constitution Day at school?

I asked my daughter when she got home (4th Grade) and she said there was no mention of it at school.

I assigned her some additional homework last night; Constitution 101.

Nope never heard of it. Thanks for the information. I guess my public education paid off.

Grandson heard no mention of Constitution Day at school. I will ask why and do Constitution 101 here too.

Thats great, Im glad to see parents do that. Ive recently started doing it myself, they have these books at Barnes and Noble called "History Maker Bios" they are books about individual people, alot are on the Founding Fathers and other American heros, so i picked up one on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, and Paul Reveres ride. I try to red these to my boys for a bed time story when im home. Last night I asked my oldest what he wanted me to read to him, and he said "one of those american books" needless to say that I was proud of him.
