Delegate Chris Obenshain marked several significant occasions in a series of posts on his social media account this week. Obenshain, who serves as a delegate in the Virginia House of Delegates, recognized Constitution Day, expressed support for law enforcement personnel, and commemorated the anniversary of the former U.S. Army Air Corps.
On September 17, 2025, Obenshain reflected on the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution with a post stating: “Today we celebrate the divinely inspired handiwork of our founders, adopted this day in 1787. Their experiment in republican democracy revolutionized the relationship between man and government, inspired millions, and laid a foundation for an historic expansion of freedom across https://t.co/1cWNSA9X1P”
The following day, September 18, 2025, he shared support for law enforcement officers and their families by posting: “Praying for our men and women in law enforcement, and their families, who give so much to keep us safe. https://t.co/iwfnswVJZp”
Later that same day, Obenshain recognized another historical milestone with a message celebrating the former U.S. Army Air Corps: “Happy birthday to the former U. S. Army Air Corps! Keep flying high and protecting the skies! https://t.co/VNn3XK02Wd”
The annual observance of Constitution Day marks the adoption of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787 by delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The document established America’s national government and fundamental laws while guaranteeing certain basic rights for its citizens.
Law enforcement appreciation messages are common among public officials as they acknowledge ongoing efforts to maintain public safety.
The former U.S. Army Air Corps was created in 1926 as part of efforts to develop military aviation capabilities before becoming part of what is now known as the United States Air Force after World War II.
