This Week…Thank You to Many


This was our first week of temperatures below 100 degrees…though not by much. We’ve been teased by rain but we’re still waiting. 

Police officers know that each time they put on their uniform, they are taking on risks to protect others.
Mike Parson



Today is Thank a Policeman Day. Our family has a retired police officer and others who are currently serving in law enforcement. 



Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.
Abraham Lincoln

 

Many in Law Enforcement work extra jobs to help support their families. They have missed holidays and special dinners. If you have the chance, thank a police officer. Even a Thank you smile says a lot!!!

 

You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.
John Adams

 

 

Tomorrow is also Constitution Day which commemorates the signing of the Constitution by our 39 Founding Fathers. 

 

If it’s been a while (as in high school) since you read our Constitution, here’s a link for you. 

 

The Constitution is not just an old piece of paper kept in Washington D.C. When I searched to discover why the Constitution is so important, this may be the best answer…

"A chief aim of the Constitution as drafted by the Convention was to create a government with enough power to act on a national level, but without so much power that fundamental rights would be at risk. "


The Constitution is the guide which I will never abandon.
George Washington



If you don’t have time to reread the whole Constitution this weekend, you can learn about the Top Ten Reasons Why the Constitution is Revolutionary. 



Have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Good morning, Kathy... it is impossible for any of us to thank our police and their families enough for all the sacrifices they make to keep us safe.

Good morning Kathy,

What a great post to remind us of Thank a Police Officer Day and all the sacrifices they make to keep us safe. We enjoyed our first week of below 100 degrees and we've had welcoming rain every day. Just hope we can get through Hudson's football game and the UT football game tonight without getting soaked!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX it looks threatening here but it seems to skip over us. I saw that Baylor's game was under a rain delay. Hope you were able to watch Hudson's game!

I try to speak to everyone in my family that lives in the Houston metro every week. All they seem to do is complain about the heat. It has been a crazy year.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty it has been unlike any summer I can remember and I was born here. Stepping outside in the heat of the day was worse than stepping into a sauna. I could hardly breathe.

Big shout out to all police and military involved in taking down the Pennsylvania jail break escapee!

Everyone could see the restraint used to treat him humanely upon capture.

Great post! I appreciate those who are willing to put their own lives at risk to keep us safe. We can't thank them enough.  I sincerely hope we don't lose sight of the intent of the Constitution. Our forefathers had amazing foresight.

Thanks for the celebration of the Constitution - I am a strict consructionist and am really troubled by the elasticity that some people attribute to that document.   If people don't like the Constitution - then amend it - don't twist it into nonsense to suit yourself.
