Happy Constitution Day!
Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day in the United States, is observed on September 17, the day the US Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This day is an opportunity to recognize and reflect on the importance of the Constitution in American History and its role in shaping the nation's government.
9/11 Remembrance: Today please take a moment to remember the events, terrorist attacks and victims of September 11, 2001 and their families. We also thank and honor the courage and sacrifice of those brave men and women who gave their lives to try to save others that day. Thank you to all those that have served or presently serve our country as firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel or in the Armed Forces, including our own community and family members. And use their example to inspire each of us to unite and help others.
