Presented by National Museum of the Pacific War

Join the National Museum of the Pacific War as we celebrate September 7, 1787, with our Constitution Day/Citizenship Day presentation. This interactive program is designed to meet your Freedom Week education requirement. The lesson will provide participants with a snapshot of the three "Documents of Freedom," which are the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Students will also be reminded that with rights come duties or responsibilities. During this segment of the program, examples will be shared of how American citizens fulfilled their civic duty during WWII, from volunteering to serve at home or the military to rationing, and how these duties are still relevant today.
