A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of September 11 through September 17, 2026, as "Patriot Week".

This resolution expresses Senate support for designating September 11 through September 17, 2026, as "Patriot Week." It encourages individual citizens, schools, and federal, state, and local government agencies to observe the week by studying, honoring, and celebrating U.S. history, foundational principles, historical documents, and national symbols. It also formally recognizes the victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks and emphasizes the importance of understanding national history.

This resolution directly addresses the public, educational institutions, and government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels by encouraging them to participate in commemorative and educational activities. However, because it is a non-binding resolution, it does not impose any legal obligations on anyone.

No legal rules, government programs, or regulatory requirements would change. The resolution serves solely as a formal statement of Senate recognition and encouragement for civic participation and history education during the designated week.

This resolution does not authorize, appropriate, or spend any federal money. It creates no taxes, fees, or financial benefits.

Because this is a simple Senate resolution, it is non-binding and does not carry the force of law. Participation by individuals, schools, or government bodies is entirely voluntary.

This is a symbolic Senate resolution supporting the designation of "Patriot Week" in September 2026 to encourage Americans to study national history and remember the victims of September 11, 2001. It creates no mandatory rules, government programs, or federal costs.
