                Proclamation 6811 of July 21, 1995

                
Parents' Day, 1995

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Parenthood is among the most difficult and most 
                rewarding responsibilities in life. Balancing countless 
                demands, parents must be firm yet loving, protective 
                yet liberating. They are the nurturers of our dreams 
                and the soothers of our fears. They instill in their 
                children, by word and example, the importance of family 
                and community involvement, the value of education and 
                hard work.

                Parenting is a serious responsibility. All parents have 
                an obligation to provide for the children they bring 
                into the world. Parents must teach and sustain, helping 
                to empower each new generation to meet the challenges 
                and opportunities of life with confidence.

                Today, across our country, parents give their time and 
                energy to ensure a better future for their children. 
                Teaching the lessons of honesty and caring in a way 
                that no school or government can, America's parents 
                pass on the spirit, values, and traditions that have 
                made our Nation strong for more than two centuries. 
                Whether stepparents or foster parents, biological or 
                adoptive, parents provide the security, stability, and 
                love that enable children to grow up healthy, happy, 
                and strong.

                Parents' Day is a welcome opportunity to celebrate the 
                special and powerful bond between parent and child. On 
                this occasion, let us remember and pay respect to those 
                who give us the daily support and loving guidance that 
                lead us to become responsible and contributing 
                citizens.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, in accordance with Public Law 
                103-362, do hereby proclaim Sunday, July 23, 1995, as 
                ``Parents' Day.'' I invite the States, communities, and 
                the people of the United States to observe this day 
                with appropriate ceremonies and activities expressing 
                gratitude and abiding affection for parents.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and twentieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
