Since the tragedy of 9/11/2001, Americans honor the heroes of that day through Patriot Day. And since Americans annually celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States, these two days are forever entwined. The two days honor different kinds of heroes, but heroes nevertheless. Patriot Day commemorates the courageous actions of heroes who served their fellow human beings during an act of war upon American soil. Constitution Day commemorates the courageous men who signed the document that become the Law of the Land -- that essentially created that “American” soil. Patriot Day and Constitution Day are days honoring the American spirit.
Yet, there are other links between these two important days to honor American heroes. The day honoring the founding of the U.S.A. will forever follow Patriot Day by six days.
