Happy Constitution Week! Today marks the beginning of a tradition the DAR has proudly led for 70 years: celebrating September 17-23 as Constitution Week, a time to honor the United States Constitution and the freedoms it protects.

On this day in 1787, the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia at 4:00 pm, and church bells rang out across the city to mark the moment. Join us in the tradition of Bells Across America by ringing a bell for one minute at 4:00 pm EDT today to herald the start of Constitution Week.

From Alabama Society DAR Chaplain Rebecca Riddick:

As the nation recognizes the 25th Anniversary of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, may we also take time to remember….so we never forget.

- Let us always honor those who tragically lost their lives at the hand of calculated evil.

- Let us always honor those who rushed into the devastation to save lives – some giving of their own in the process.

- Let us always remember to pray for the families whose lives were forever changed that horrific day and who continue to grieve such profound loss. May they know the living truth that, “God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”. Psalm 34:18

Remembering is not simply passive reflection. Remembering calls us to action that ensures what is important is never forgotten. As you take time to honor and remember, whether privately, with family, or within a group, commit yourself to telling others your memories of that day. Your story should not be lost, and your children and grandchildren will benefit by learning from those who lived not only through the day, but also through the weeks and months that followed.

Today is a day about remembering: remembering the people whose lives and hopes were brought down within minutes and remembering the people who rose up, exhibiting strength and valor in acts of selflessness. May we never forget.

The following is from the NSDAR Ritual and Missal:

Heavenly Father, today is a difficult day. The memories are painful, and some of the wounds may never heal. Thank You for the heroes who gave so sacrificially on September 11, 2001. Help us to remember their courage and learn from them. Strengthen us to comfort those who mourn and work in large ways and small for those things that make for peace. We pray for all those who were crushed and broken on that day. May they come to experience Your presence and know Your peace. In the Name of the God of all comfort, Amen.

August 20, 1937: Dixie Bibb Graves made history when she was appointed to the U.S. Senate, becoming Alabama’s first female Senator!

A leader in women’s suffrage, child labor reform, and human welfare, Graves delivered the first-ever Senate speech by a woman Senator while serving in the post. Described as possessing a "keen intelligence and amazing grasp of national problems," she broke ground for women in national governance.

Mrs. Graves knew the power of women, and was one of the leaders among women's organizations in Alabama. She was a member or officer in the Alabama Historical Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, No-Name Literary Club of Montgomery, Women's Missionary Union of First Christian Church (Montgomery), Young Women's Christian Association, League of Women Voters, Women's Christian Temperance Union, Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs, and United Daughters of the Confederacy. She also was active as a member of boards and national organizations; Alabama Illiteracy Commission, Board of Trustees of Boys Industrial School, American Red Cross, American Legion Auxiliary, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Board of Directors of Bob Jones College, and others.
