Congrats, cynjeep!
Or was that just too easy?
Nobody I talked to all last week knew anything about it, and I have yet to find a calendar that mentions it.
Seems to me it ought to be the most important patriotic holiday, yet it's in danger of being forgotten.

I've been mailing bills with 39 cent stamps and found out today it's 41 cents. I checked the U.S. Postal Service website to find out when this happened. Wow, awhile back.
There was a corner of a page earlier today on the site noting this day.
googling though...
Quote:| In 1940, Congress designated the third Sunday in May as I am an American Day. Many cities continue to observe this holiday. On February 29, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill establishing September 17 as Citizenship Day replacing the May observance and moving the date to the one on which the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787. |

A leap year so Pres. Truman leaped it over to Sept.
With help from Mr. Wizard
I googled that.
Help, Mr. Wizard. Mr. Wizard get me out of here now.
Trizzle, trazzle, truzzle, trome,
time for this one to come home.
Oh heck, I'm watching Touche' Turtle,
I'll send somebody else.
