WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Steve Southerland, II issued the following statement today in recognition of Constitution Day:

“On this day 225 years ago, 55 American delegates inscribed their names to one of the most transformative documents in human history: the U.S. Constitution.   This founding document remains a lantern of freedom guiding our path in an increasingly uncertain world.  Let us take this opportunity to reflect upon the selfless sacrifice of the generations of American heroes who protected and handed down the liberties we are so blessed to enjoy today.”
