                Proclamation 10466 of October 5, 2022

                
German-American Day, 2022

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Since 1683, when thirteen families arrived in 
                Philadelphia and founded the first German settlement in 
                North America, generations of Germans have put their 
                faith in the promises of this land and set down roots 
                in communities across this country. On German-American 
                Day, we honor the German immigrants who added their 
                dreams to the American story, and we celebrate their 
                descendants who continue to nurture and enrich the soul 
                of this Nation.

                From championing the anti-slavery movement to helping 
                establish the freedom of the press, from introducing 
                the concept of kindergarten to advocating for universal 
                education, and from inspiring the music we love to 
                influencing the food we eat and beer we drink--German-
                Americans have strengthened our Nation's character and 
                sustained our progress and prosperity. Today, they are 
                leaders in every industry and every community, 
                spearheading innovation and making essential 
                contributions to our Nation's success.

                On German-American Day, let us also reaffirm the United 
                States' vital alliance with Germany and our enduring 
                bonds to its people. As the closest of friends, the 
                most reliable of partners, and strong NATO Allies, our 
                countries work together around the world to advance our 
                shared commitment to democratic principles, human 
                rights, and the rules-based international order. 
                Together, we will continue to stand against 
                authoritarianism and advance freedom and opportunity 
                for all people.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, do hereby proclaim 
                October 6, 2022, as German-American Day. I urge all 
                Americans to celebrate the rich and varied history of 
                German-Americans and remember the many contributions 
                they have made to our Nation.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fifth day of October, 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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
