"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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."
I can only imagine how incredible it must have been to be there when the framers of the constitution penned its first words. I would add commentary on this, the Preamble, but I do not wish to detract from its simple elegance. It is indeed a marvelous work of art, able to portray so much with so few words...all chosen very carefully I am sure.
My first post. It did not take long for me to decide the subject of my first posts. In honor of Veteran's Day I have chosen to review the freedoms for which they fought. Yes, you have guessed it; I am talking about our beloved Constitution with all of its articles and amendments. I will make an attempt to cover one article/amendment each day, but that is a lofty goal so there is no guarantee.
I would also like to thank all of those that have served, and are currently serving in the armed forces of the United States of America, although I doubt any will be reading here. I often think of the great sacrifices that are made by many, that I may enjoy the freedoms for which they fight. Indeed, I feel obligated to take full advantage of these freedoms, else they fight and suffer in vain. With sincere gratitude I once again say: Thank you!
