September 17 is nationally recognized as Constitution Day. The Virginia Department of Education Website explains:
The goal of Constitution Day is to: perpetuate the Constitution to each succeeding generation; promote the annual national simultaneous recitation of the Preamble across all of America, especially in the schools; involve all the 50 states in the roll call of states in the order they ratified the Constitution or were admitted to the Union; educate each new generation to the uniqueness and brilliance of our Constitution, the most perfect governmental document conceived by man; and show the need to protect and defend it to maintain our liberties.
