  Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Constitution 
Week. I also rise to recognize the work and dedication that the 
Daughters of the American Revolution and the Children of the American 
Revolution pour into preserving and promoting the history of our 
Nation.
  It is a privilege to commemorate the 236th anniversary of the 
drafting and adoption of the Constitution of the United States of 
America. Constitution Week serves as a reminder of the enduring 
importance of our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees. The 
Daughters of the American Revolution and the Children of the American 
Revolution play an invaluable role in educating future generations 
about the principles enshrined by our founding fathers.
  Through educational initiatives, historical preservation efforts, and 
community outreach, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the 
Children of the American Revolution actively engage in preserving our 
nation's story. Their programs--from providing scholarships to holding 
essay contests to facilitating history projects--encourage young 
Americans to take pride in their country and serve as a reminder to 
Americans of their civic duty to protect and defend the Constitution.
  I thank the Daughters of the American Revolution Fredericksburg 
Chapter and the Surgeon Lawrence Brooks Society of the Children of the 
American Revolution for their dedication and service to our communities 
on behalf of this noble cause.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating 
Constitution Week and recognizing the Daughters of the American 
Revolution and the Children of the American Revolution for their 
remarkable achievements and their continued commitment to educating the 
American people about the United States Constitution and the history of 
our Nation.
