                Proclamation 10921 of April 23, 2025

                
National Park Week, 2025

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Park Week, we celebrate the majestic 
                beauty and rich history preserved within our national 
                parks. The week's events will begin with a 
                commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Battles 
                of Lexington and Concord, the opening battles of the 
                American Revolutionary War at Minute Man National 
                Historical Park in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. 
                There, ceremonies and tactical demonstrations will 
                recall the bravery of the patriots who stood their 
                ground against tyranny and launched a movement that 
                secured the blessing of freedom and forever changed the 
                course of history.

                As President, I have taken action to restore names to 
                our parks that honor American greatness--including 
                returning Mount McKinley to its rightful name. I was 
                also proud to announce the creation of the National 
                Garden of American Heroes--a new monument honoring 250 
                American patriots who embodied the virtues of courage, 
                love of country, and devotion to our Nation's highest 
                ideals. My Administration is promoting education that 
                teaches our children to love our country and honor our 
                history, including through the work of the White House 
                Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday.

                Our national parks are magnificent sources of 
                inspiration, education, and recreation--representing 
                our customs and culture. In 1872, Yellowstone National 
                Park was established as the world's first-ever national 
                park, commencing a proud American tradition that has 
                led to the designation of more than 400 park sites of 
                national significance. From prehistoric dwellings and 
                architectural masterpieces to historic battlefields 
                where our forefathers fought for independence, our 
                national parks draw hundreds of millions of visitors 
                each year.

                This National Park Week, we renew our pledge to cherish 
                and protect our magnificent symbols of American 
                greatness, and we vow to ensure that they remain 
                breathtaking for our children and grandchildren.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, 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 April 19 through 
                April 27, 2025, as National Park Week. I encourage all 
                Americans to celebrate our national parks by learning 
                more about the natural and historical heritage that 
                belongs to each and every citizen of the United States 
                of America.
