    Proclamation 10033 of May 8, 2020
    Mother's Day, 2020
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    On Mother's Day, we celebrate the exceptional mothers in our lives. It
    is through the unwavering love, comfort, and guidance of these
    extraordinary women that we first learn to experience joy and the
    wonders of life. Whether they became mothers through birth, adoption,
    foster care, or other means, these women are deserving of our unending
    gratitude and praise this day and every day.
    The intuition and wisdom passed from mother to child strengthens the
    fabric of our Nation and preserves generations of wisdom and familial
    values. In our earliest days, our mothers provide us with love and
    nurturing care. They often know our talents before we do, and they
    selflessly encourage us to use these God-given gifts to pursue our
    biggest

    dreams and most admirable ambitions. As we grow, our mothers
    teach us to be productive, contributing members of society and to care
    for one another as they have cared for us. As life-long supporters,
    mothers provide reassurance and guidance when needed most. President
    Abraham Lincoln described this spirit of compassion: ``I remember my
    mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me
    all my life.''; Our mothers embrace us for who we are and help guide us
    to who we are meant to be. They advocate for us and counsel us, and
    above all else provide us with a steadfast and enduring love each day.
    Today, on Mother's Day, we celebrate mothers everywhere and thank them
    for all that they do to enrich our lives, honoring how they raise us
    with a special grace and endurance. Their character, courage, and
    compassion are gifts that transcend time and span generations. May today
    be filled with the joy of knowing their contributions to our society are
    immeasurable, and their love for us does not go unnoticed or
    unappreciated.
    In recognition of the contributions of mothers to American families and
    to our Nation, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 8, 1914
    (38 Stat. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May each year as
    Mother's Day, and requested the President to call for its appropriate
    observance.
    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 May 10, 2020, as
    Mother's Day. I encourage all Americans to express their love and
    respect for their mothers or beloved mother figures, whether with us in
    person or in spirit, and to reflect on the importance of motherhood to
    the prosperity of our families, communities, and Nation.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of May,
    in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of
    the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
