Celebrating Constitution Day in Gettysburg!
What a fantastic morning at The Barn Resort in Gettysburg as we gathered to commemorate 239 years of the United States Constitution and reflect on the enduring principles of liberty, limited government, and “We the People.”
My beautiful wife, Rebbie, opened our event in prayer. The talented Michelle Nestor led us in the National Anthem and “God Bless America,” while Abbottstown Troop 127 honored our nation by posting and retiring the colors.
We were also privileged to hear from two distinguished members of Pennsylvania’s judiciary, The Honorable Judge Victor Stabile and The Honorable Judge Patricia McCullough, who spoke about the importance of our Constitution and our responsibility to preserve it for future generations.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special commemoration.
The Constitution belongs to “We the People.” May we understand it, defend it, and pass its blessings of liberty to those who come after us.
