Today is Constitution Day & Citizenship Day...back in 1940 it was " I am an American Day".
Used to be public readings of the Constitution in many communities, school events, and so on...but betting you are hard put to find one...seems like most folks (but not all) just don't pay attention anymore. Typically POTUS will release a Presidential Proclamation for the day and the week (Constitution Week)...and President Trump did so in 2017 & 2018...but none this year (as of this morning)...odd.

...and don't forget...although every day is BoR Day...officially we recognize December 15 each year as Bill of Rights Day (ratified December 1791), so mark your calendar.
