Or Founders' Days, apparently.
I know that I celebrate my noble ancestors, the founders of my sorority, the martyrs and saints of my religion and the great minds who founded my country because to do so is to encourage myself, my children, my sisters and my students to emulate them. It is to recognize the sacrifices and work they put into developing institutions I love. It is because I love what they loved, and want to pass a legacy of knowledge and understanding to my children, and their children. It is because while times and societies change, certain truths remain - and those are worth preserving.
