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 on ourselves and our posterity...
do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.
Many years ago when I taught school, all my students had memorized the Preamble before they left my classroom in June. It cuts to the chase on what it is to be an American. It sums up the Constitution in a mere paragraph. We celebrate our Declaration of Independence...but we live according to the Constitution...great documents, written by great men.
Happy Birthday, America!
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Independence Day! Stay safe!
Enjoy the day,
Robyn

Glad to hear that other teachers thought memorization a worthwhile endeavor. Hope there are some that still do! My third, fifth and seventh graders were all required...by me...to memorize the Preamble.

What a wonderful patriotic post. I enjoyed seeing your lovely red, white, and blue items. I especially like the darling little red button shoes. Happy Fourth of July, Julie.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and love our country as you do. Unfortunately our Constitution is being compromised right now and hope that in the months to come it can once again revert to the standards our wise forefathers had set forth to protect it people.
