As a kid, I remember watching cartoons on Saturday morning and waiting for the next edition of "Schoolhouse Rock" in between shows. Covering topics in grammar, math, science, and history, these have become a real gem over the years. I now own the DVD collection of them and enjoy passing them on to my children.
One of the most important ones is simply called "The Preamble." To this day, I'm unable to recite the Preamble of the Constitution, but I can sing it!
For all those kids out there: This is what this great country is about. May the ideals in it continue to live on with you when we adults are long gone. Pass them on to your children and be proud to say, "I'm an American!"

Great Find!! That was awesome seeing School House Rock again. Its a great way of teaching kids history. What a great idea, passing the episodes onto your kids.
Thanks for the visit to the past.
My pleasure, Teresa! Weren't they fun???
Too funny. I did almost the exact same blog on schoolhouse rock a few weeks ago. That We the People song really sticks with you doesn't it.
Spinster: Definitely catchy some 30 years later! lol
Um, I was into Rocky and Bullwinkle...
That was a cute blast from the past.
Now they show video's of polar bears
crashing into cars falling off roofs!

It's amazing this stuff is still legal to find, what with the current administration and all. I'll have to click out of comments just to listen and make sure it's still the skit I watched when I was a kid.
