John Jay at Naval Academy for Constitution Day

On September 17, 2019 the Naval Academy allowed John Jay to help the Midshipmen celebrate Constitution Day. Commander David Richardson invited me and helped showing me around as did Ensign Francis Kim who took all these super photos. Mr. Jay as a Federalist spoke to the Midshipmen about the need for having a United States Navy instead of every state having its own navy. We took a vote and they voted overwhelmingly to get rid of the Articles of Confederation and adopt the Constitution. Very humbling to be with the leaders of the Navy and Marines. Enjoyed it immensely!
