                Proclamation 9906 of June 14, 2019

                
Father's Day, 2019

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On Father's Day, we celebrate and honor the men who 
                have embraced the essential role of fatherhood. Through 
                acts of selflessness, determination, and love, fathers 
                and father figures enrich and bless all of our lives. 
                Today, we thank them for boldly embracing the 
                tremendous responsibility of raising our Nation's 
                children to be happy, productive, and responsible 
                adults, and for their ceaseless devotion to their 
                families.

                As children, we take comfort in the presence and 
                companionship of fathers, and we are strengthened by 
                their encouragement as we prepare to confront future 
                challenges. Throughout life, we draw courage from our 
                father's firm and loving guidance and example. With the 
                values they instill in us, they encourage us to live a 
                life of virtue and exercise good judgment as we enter 
                into adulthood and have families of our own.

                Children of all ages benefit in countless ways from a 
                father's ongoing presence and involvement. A father's 
                time, attention, and mentorship are crucial to the 
                physical, emotional, and spiritual growth of his child. 
                Our Nation heralds the dignity of fatherhood, a 
                father's role in developing children's character, and 
                the indispensable influence fathers have on their 
                children and our communities.

                Increasingly, research has shown that children with 
                involved fathers are more likely to have healthy self-
                esteem, do well in school, and make higher salaries as 
                adults. This is one reason why my Administration is 
                committed to promoting the role of fathers and father 
                figures in ensuring the growth, development, and well-
                being of America's youth. We support the continuance of 
                grant funding to organizations across our country that 
                promote responsible fatherhood by helping fathers to 
                strengthen their relationships with their children and 
                to seek and retain gainful employment to provide a 
                stable home life for their families.

                On this day, we thank all amazing fathers for their 
                unending dedication and leadership. They impact 
                countless lives in such important and powerful ways. We 
                express our heartfelt love and appreciation to fathers, 
                whether their children are by birth, adoption, or 
                foster care, for the many sacrifices they have made to 
                ensure that their children have every opportunity to 
                reach their full potential in life.

                NOW, THEREFORE, 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 16, 
                2019, 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.
