Commission adopts proclamations for Constitution Week and Patriot Day
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.
