                Proclamation 9142 of June 13, 2014

                
Father's Day, 2014

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Fatherhood is among the most difficult and rewarding 
                jobs a man can have. It demands constant attention, 
                frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. 
                Even in a time when technology allows us to connect 
                instantly with almost anyone on earth, there is no 
                substitute for a father's presence, care, and support. 
                On Father's Day, we show our gratitude to the men who 
                show us how to learn, grow, and live.

                With encouragement and unconditional love, fathers 
                guide their children and help them envision brighter 
                futures. They are teachers and coaches, friends and 
                role models. They instill values like hard work and 
                integrity, and teach their kids to take responsibility 
                for themselves and those around them. This is a task 
                for every father--whether married or single, gay or 
                straight, natural or adoptive--and every child deserves 
                someone who will step up and fill this role. My 
                Administration proudly supports dads who are not only 
                present but also involved, who meet their commitments 
                to their sons and daughters, even if their own fathers 
                did not.

                Today, let us reflect on our fathers' essential 
                contributions to our lives, our society, and our 
                Nation. Let us thank the men who understand there is 
                nothing more important than being the best fathers they 
                can be.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, in accordance with a joint 
                resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972, as 
                amended (36 U.S.C. 109), do hereby proclaim June 15, 
                2014, as Father's Day. I direct the appropriate 
                officials of the Government to display the flag of the 
                United States on all Government buildings on this day, 
                and I call upon all citizens to observe this day with 
                appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
                eighth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
