                Proclamation 10429 of August 19, 2022

                
National Employer Support of the Guard and 
                Reserve Week, 2022

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Since our Nation's founding, many courageous women and 
                men have taken the oath to defend our Constitution by 
                joining the National Guard and Reserve. During National 
                Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Week, we show 
                our appreciation for the civilian employers who support 
                and honor our brave service members and their families.

                The citizen Soldiers and Airmen of the National Guard, 
                and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast 
                Guardsmen of the Reserve, are central to our Armed 
                Forces and the security of our Nation. When activated, 
                they answer the call to serve at a moment's notice, 
                sacrificing their personal and professional lives to 
                protect our safety and freedoms. When they are not in 
                uniform, these patriots from diverse backgrounds 
                balance the competing demands of their families, their 
                civilian careers, and their military responsibilities. 
                They serve as teachers, pastors, engineers, civil 
                servants, medical professionals, and other critical 
                roles in their local communities--strengthening our 
                Nation at home. The Biden family is a National Guard 
                family, and we will always be inspired by all of those 
                who put their country above themselves to defend our 
                way of life, just as my son Major Beau Biden did in the 
                Delaware National Guard.

                Civilian employers play a critical role in ensuring a 
                secure life for service members and their families 
                through stable employment, health care, and benefits. 
                Our Nation is forever grateful for the patriotic 
                efforts of employers and businesses who empower our 
                Guard and Reserve service members to thrive. During 
                National Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve 
                Week, we honor our National Guard and Reserve members 
                and their families for their service and sacrifice. We 
                also thank employers for their steadfast support of our 
                Nation's heroes, for their outstanding contributions to 
                our economy, and for the role they play in the success 
                of our military and our Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., 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 August 21 
                through August 27, 2022, as National Employer Support 
                of the Guard and Reserve Week. I call upon the people 
                of the United States, State and local officials, 
                private organizations, and all military commanders to 
                honor employers of National Guard and Reserve members 
                with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                nineteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                seventh.
