⭐ National Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day

Today, the Joseph Montfort Chapter, NSDAR, honors the mothers and families of our nation’s fallen service members.

Behind every Gold Star is a family whose loved one made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, strength, and enduring love remind us that the cost of service is carried not only by those who wear the uniform, but also by those who love them.

We remember their loved ones. We honor their sacrifice. And we hold our Gold Star families in grateful remembrance today and always. 🇺🇸⭐

🔔 Bells Across America | Constitution Day 2026 🇺🇸

The Joseph Montfort Chapter, NSDAR, gathered at Freedom Fountain in downtown Jacksonville on September 17 to celebrate Constitution Day with our annual Bells Across America ceremony.

We were honored to have the Northside High School JROTC Color Guard participate and Jacksonville City Councilwoman Mickey Smith present a Constitution Week proclamation from the Mayor. Francesca Silva, Children of the American Revolution, recited the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

We also had two unexpected visitors! Two teachers from Camp Lejeune, dressed as Betsy Ross and James Madison, happened to be driving by, saw the ceremony, and stopped to join us — a wonderful Constitution Day surprise!

At 4:00 p.m., bells rang in Jacksonville as part of Bells Across America, commemorating the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Joseph Montfort Chapter in celebrating the document that has guided our nation for 239 years.

Happy Constitution Day! 🔔🇺🇸

🇺🇸 National POW/MIA Recognition Day

Today, the Joseph Montfort Chapter, NSDAR, pauses to honor our nation's prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action.

We remember their courage and sacrifice, the families who have waited for answers, and all those who continue the work of bringing our missing service members home.

On this day—and always—we reaffirm a promise that must never be forgotten:

You Are Not Forgotten. 🕯️🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Happy Constitution Day!

On September 17, 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution in Philadelphia, creating the framework of government that continues to guide our nation today.

The Constitution begins with three powerful words: “We the People.” More than two centuries later, those words remind us that our system of government depends not only on the principles written in the Constitution, but also on informed and engaged citizens.

📜 As we begin Constitution Week, September 17–23, the Joseph Montfort Chapter, NSDAR, encourages everyone to take time to read, learn about, and reflect on this remarkable document and the rights and responsibilities it represents.

Happy Constitution Day from the Joseph Montfort Chapter! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Constitution Week begins tomorrow!

Each year, September 17–23 is recognized as Constitution Week, commemorating the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787.

The Daughters of the American Revolution has a special connection to this observance. In 1955, DAR petitioned Congress to set aside a week each year dedicated to the study and celebration of the Constitution. The following year, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the resolution establishing Constitution Week.

📜 Throughout the coming week, the Joseph Montfort Chapter, NSDAR, encourages everyone to take a little time to learn more about the Constitution, the freedoms it protects, and the responsibilities of citizenship.

Join us September 17–23 as we celebrate Constitution Week! 🇺🇸
