Patriot's Pen


Our Founding Fathers of this country deserve great amounts of gratitude and appreciation for starting our country and giving us a clean and clear base to build our nation off of. The constitution is an old baby’s blanket. Tattered and torn from years of use. It has some holes in it that had to be patched up, and it had to be rewashed over and over again, but at least it is still there. Without it, there would be no protection or sense of security for its owner. There would be no calming sensation when it was in your hands. There would be no comfort. So to our Founding Fathers I would like to say thank you, because without them, there would be no America.
The 55 Founding Fathers were very brave, strong people who understood the importance, and the purpose of America. They understood that we wanted freedom, and liberty. Fifty-five people made it their goal to make America the best it could be. That’s why I would like everyone to remember the good of the first laws of our country. Or in other words, security they gave us.  Not the bad laws or decisions they made, or the holes in the blanket. It must have been hard for them, imagine the pressure and the huge burden that was on their shoulders. Fifty-Five people had to work together in order to make laws that all of them, as well as the good portion of our country, had to agree on. Not to mention they had to cover all the bases of anything you could possibly do. They even decided what day the Congress would meet on of each year. The point is, that the Founding Fathers worked really hard to get us to where we are now and we should thank them for that.
The blanket that now covers us might eventually fall apart completely, but for now we still have it. We should respect it, honor it, and embrace it in remembrance of our Founding Fathers.
