                Proclamation 9765 of June 15, 2018

                
Father's Day, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On Father's Day, we pay special tribute to the men who 
                devote themselves to supporting and caring for their 
                loved ones. We take this occasion to show our gratitude 
                to our fathers, to thank them for inspiring us to be 
                our best, and to appreciate the influence they have in 
                shaping our character and guiding our futures.

                Fathers across our country serve as role models for 
                their children and families. Through their examples, 
                they display the fundamental American values of hard 
                work and dedication, which are so important to 
                fulfilling our potential and achieving the American 
                Dream. In each stage of our development, their 
                unwavering support inspires us to take on the next big 
                challenge and to pursue ambitious goals we might 
                otherwise have thought beyond our reach. Their 
                engagement in our communities, from the soccer field to 
                Main Street to the town hall, enriches American life 
                and encourages others to get involved.

                As a Nation, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting 
                fatherhood in our neighborhoods and communities. All 
                fathers must know and harness their power to shape the 
                future of their children. More and more, scientific 
                studies show that fathers who actively invest in their 
                children improve their lives emotionally, physically, 
                academically, and economically. My Administration 
                supports the continuation of grant funding to States 
                and community organizations that educate men on the 
                significance of active fatherhood and assist them with 
                entering or staying in the workforce so they can 
                contribu te to the emotional and financial well-being 
                of their children and families.

                Today, and every day, we honor our fathers who serve 
                their families with humble and giving hearts. Whether 
                we became their children through birth, adoption, or 
                foster care, the incredible fathers in our lives 
                generously share with us the powerful gifts of love and 
                care through their presence and dedication. We express 
                our love and gratitude to our fathers for the countless 
                ways they have improved our lives and acknowledge the 
                tremendous importance of active fatherhood to our 
                families, communities, and country.

                NOW, THERFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, 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 17, 
                2018, as Father's Day. I call on United States 
                Government officials to display the flag of the United 
                States on all Government buildings on Father's Day and 
                invite State and local governments and the people of 
                the United States to observe Father's Day with 
                appropriate ceremonies.
