ANNIVERSARY OF SIGNING OUR CONSTITUTION, PHILA. 1776!
"Done ... the Seventeenth Day of September, in the year of our LORD one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven."    Wiki: Link.

 Today marks the anniversary of the signing of our Republic's Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. It is the most consequential governing document in history. It enshrined Liberty and Rule of Law in a way that no other outline for government ever had.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."  Wiki: Link.  GOD BLESS OUR GREAT COUNTRY!
