It’s Constitution Day and Citizenship Day!
Today is the 238th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States. September 17th was the date in 1787 when delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the historic document in Philadelphia.
The City of San Diego has issued an official Proclamation that celebrates Constitution Week. I was fortunate to see it close up!
The City of San Diego Proclamation, signed by Mayor Todd Gloria, includes the following words:
…celebrating Constitution Week serves as an important reminder of the historic rights, privileges and responsibilities the Constitution affords us…
…Constitution Week commemorates the week the Constitution was signed and delivered to the Continental Congress. It laid the foundation for the birth of a new nation and became one of the most significant chapters in United States history…
…the Constitution lays out liberties like freedom, opportunity, and rule of law…
As a writer and individual who loves to create, I cherish freedom.

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or X.

“I cherish freedom.” Me too, Richard. May it survive!
