We mourn the loss of Kathy Griswold-McKean, the co-founder of Liberty Day. We lost Kathy to a car accident when she was on her way to deliver a Liberty Day mailing. She and her husband Andy dedicated their lives to bring the Constitution and the Bill of Rights into the hands and minds of students across the country.

Liberty Day started with Kathy and Andy 10 years ago. Kathy and Andy have worked without pay, donating thousands of hours and resources to Liberty Day in the hopes that Americans will understand the basic freedoms we enjoy today. 

Kathy Griswold-McKean was a dedicated patriot that selflessly served her community and country, and we are honored to pay tribute to such a diligent community servant and preservationist of American history.

Since loosing his wife, Andy has strived to make Liberty Day successful in her memory.

"I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine" he said.

"For you to love while she's alive and mourn when she is dead."

"It may be six or seven years or twenty two or three, but will you 'til I
call on her take care of her for me?"

"She'll bring her charms to gladden you and if her stay is brief, you'll
have her lovely memory as solace for your grief."

"I can't promise she will stay, as all from earth return, but there are
lessons taught down there I want this child to learn."

"I've looked the wide world over and in my search for teachers true,
and from the throng that crowd life's lanes, I have chosen you."

"Now will you give her all the love - not think the labor vain, nor hate
me when I come to call and take her back again?"

"I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord they will be done, for all
the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run."

"We'll shower her with tenderness and love her while we may, and for
the happiness we have known, now in our hearts she'll stay."
