"Constitution Week" begins Thursday

The Hannah Lee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is observing Constitution Week, which begins Thursday and runs through next Wednesday.

The celebration's goals are threefold: to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to remind the public that the Constitution is the basis of America's great heritage and the foundation for its way of life; and to emphasize U.S. citizens' responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the U.S. Constitution.
