Expressing support for the designation of the week of September 11 through September 17, 2025, as "Patriot Week".
This is a non-binding House resolution that expresses support for designating the week of September 11 through September 17, 2025, as “Patriot Week.” Introduced by Rep. Moolenaar (joined by Reps. Ryan and James) and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the measure does not create new laws or funding. Instead, it publicly encourages schools, educational institutions, and all levels of government to observe Patriot Week by honoring the United States’ history, founding principles, and symbols, and by promoting study of the nation’s history. The resolution ties Patriot Week to remembrance of the September 11 attacks and to enduring American ideals such as the rule of law, democracy, liberty, equality, and unalienable rights, and it highlights the importance of civics education and national unity.
