Constitution Day -- September 17th
September 17, 2017 marks 230 years since our Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution. Ratification would take two more years, but the principles enshrined in our Constitution have stood the test of time. Those principles are what unite us as a country, and what the U.S. military, soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and civilians, have sworn to protect and defend.
