What is Patriot Week? Here’s How You Can Participate

Judge Michael Warren was convicted after his daughter asked him why there was not a specific time each year dedicated to remembering American history and celebrating the founding.

“We need to start a new celebration for America,” Leah, who was only 10 at the time, told her father. Warren determined that he could’t complain about the lack of celebration and then not do anything about it, he said. “So we decided to be audacious and to do a week” to remember and learn about America’s founding principles.

In 2012, Warren formally co-founded Patriot Week with his daughter Leah. Every Sept. 11 – Sept. 17, the father and daughter invite all Americans to join them in remembering the patriots who founded our country, the documents that established our government, and the history we must never forget.

Warren joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the history of Patriot Week and the resources their website offers families, schools, and communities to take part in the celebration.
