FAAME participates in flag planting to honor Constitution Day and 911

On September 16th and 17, Clearwater FAAME students honored the U.S. Constitution

On Sept. 16 and 17, Clearwater FAAME students participated in two power packed days honoring and appreciating the U.S. Constitution and remembering the event that is seared in our memories known as 9-11.

SPC hosted a two-day event to encourage all generations of citizens and residents of the U.S. to celebrate and reflect on what it represents.

As part of the two-day event, in recognition of Constitution Day, attorney David Moran gave an informative speech regarding the constitution and the origin of the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Constitution was signed by delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Penn, on September 17, 1787. The Constitution serves as the supreme law of the land and provides the framework for our government.

On Sept. 17, Dr. Smiley gave a spirited speech regarding 911 and its impact even to this day on our lives. In addition, he gave reflection regarding the American flag and 2,000 U.S. flags were planted on the Clearwater quad, and more than 50 FAAME men, combined from the inaugural group to the current group, gathered to commemorate, remember and reflect on this rich history.

Clearwater’s Student Government Association provided food for the hundreds of attendees. For more information on FAAME please contact Steve Marshall at 727-712-5887 or email marshall.steve@spcollege.edu
