Pride

I am proud to say that tonight I sat down with my son and read over the Constitution of the United States of America. I remember being in Washington and gazing at this document in the national archives along with the Deceleration of Independence. I feel as much pride now as I did that day when I was only 17 gazing upon those vellum pages. I am not proud that I did my duty as an American and went over this document with my son I am proud that he sat and listened and asked questions and based upon the words of this document began to question national affairs and the acts of our congress and our president. I am proud to have a son who considers it his duty and his privilege to question his government.
