SR 68 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to observe September 11-17, 2025, as Patriot Week.

Senate Resolution 68 designates September 11-17, 2025, as "Patriot Week" to honor American history and founding principles. It encourages citizens, schools, government agencies, and organizations to recognize this period by studying key historical documents (like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution), figures (such as George Washington and Frederick Douglass), and symbols (including the American flag). The resolution urges participation in activities that "renew the American spirit" based on the nation's foundational values. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or obligations but serves as a formal invitation for voluntary observance.
