Commission adopts proclamations for Constitution Week and Patriot Day

Berkeley County Commission · September 10, 2026

Summary

The commission approved proclamations recognizing Constitution Week (Sept. 17–23, 2026) presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution and Patriot Day (Sept. 11) read by a county representative, with commissioners emphasizing remembrance of those lost and continued community service.

Representatives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented a Constitution Week proclamation asking Berkeley County residents to observe Sept. 17–23, 2026. The proclamation recited historical background and requested official recognition; the commission moved and adopted the proclamation by voice vote.

Separately, Matt Gonstead read a Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance proclamation noting the nearly 3,000 victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and encouraging a moment of silence and volunteer service on Sept. 11. Commissioners discussed the enduring impact on first responders and communities; both proclamations were adopted without recorded roll-call tallies.

Those attending the meeting were invited to take photos and help promote the events and observances in the community.
