                Proclamation 9163 of September 5, 2014

                
National Grandparents Day, 2014

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Each year, we pause to salute the grandmothers and 
                grandfathers who strengthen our families and shape our 
                Nation. Through decades of hard work, they have broken 
                down barriers and blazed pathways for the generations 
                that followed, and they continue to provide inspiration 
                and support to their children and grandchildren. On 
                National Grandparents Day, we honor the anchors of our 
                families and recognize the immeasurable ways they 
                enrich our lives.

                With grit and determination, our grandparents have 
                built better lives for their loved ones and a better 
                future for our country. From battlefields to factory 
                floors, their relentless pursuit of progress has 
                created new opportunities and made America more equal 
                and more just. They have ushered in revolutionary 
                advances in science and technology, putting us at the 
                forefront of innovation. And they have shared in some 
                of life's most cherished memories--from small moments 
                to personal milestones--and been a source of comfort in 
                difficult times.

                Across our country, grandparents continue to contribute 
                to their families and communities in countless ways. 
                They volunteer in their neighborhoods, and for more 
                than 5 million grandchildren, they serve as the head of 
                household, providing unconditional love and support. 
                Their tenacious spirit, commitment to family, and sense 
                of service remind us that after a lifetime of hard 
                work, they deserve to retire with security and dignity.

                Today, we pay tribute to our grandparents and all the 
                older Americans who have reached across generations and 
                played an important role in our lives. With profound 
                gratitude, we celebrate all they have accomplished and 
                given to our Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim September 7, 2014, as 
                National Grandparents Day. I call upon all Americans to 
                take the time to honor their own grandparents and those 
                in their community.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
