    Proclamation 9960 of October 31, 2019

    National Family Caregivers Month, 2019

    By the President of the United States of America

    A Proclamation

    Selfless Americans across our country consistently dedicate themselves
    and their resources to providing ailing and aging loved ones with the
    care and support they need to live in their own homes and communities.
    Throughout National Family Caregivers Month, we pause to recognize the
    men and women who tirelessly work to improve the quality of life for
    Americans in need of care.
    Caregivers help their family members live fulfilling lives by providing
    vital assistance in domestic, financial, and medical affairs. The
    responsibility of serving and supporting another person can be
    challenging, and the strength and compassion exhibited by caregivers is
    one of the greatest manifestations of genuine love we witness in this
    world. Their unrelenting support enables family members to live with
    dignity.
    As we honor the innumerable sacrifices made in homes across the country,
    we affirm our resolve to ensure all caregivers are given the resources
    and respect they deserve. This support requires a commitment from
    community stakeholders and Federal, State, and local governments to
    equip caregivers with training and tools to use to safeguard their
    family's health and security. This past summer, the Administration for
    Community Living held the inaugural meetings of the Family Caregiving
    Advisory Council and the Advisory Council to Support Grandparents
    Raising Grandchildren. The strategies, informational resources, and
    technical assistance being developed by these councils will strengthen
    our Nation's support for family caregivers and their work enhancing the
    lives of millions of Americans.
    This November, we recognize and honor the commitment of those who
    exemplify the essential American tenets of devotion to family and
    compassion toward those who matter most in our lives. Through
    caregivers' generosity, our vulnerable communities are able to fully
    experience the many blessings of our great Nation.
    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 November 2019 as
    National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to reach out
    to those who provide care for their family members, friends, and
    neighbors in need, to honor and thank them.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of
    October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the
    Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
    fourth.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
