Samuel Doak Chapter Members First Vice Regent Joyce Damon and her daughters Tamara Damon and Tracy Damon Wood set up a Constitution Week Display at the Morristown Hamblen Library.

Constitution Week is September 17-23.

The Constitution of the United States of America wasn’t created quickly.

Colonists had been in America for well over 150 years, living under British rule, before demands from the monarchy led to the Declaration of Independence. A war was fought and won.

Self-government was on rocky ground. Determination to maintain liberties and self-rule was strong.

“In four short years, the country will be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of America’s Independence. Ever wonder where these United States would be without our Constitution?” Joyce Damon said.
