                Proclamation 10051 of June 19, 2020

                
Father's Day, 2020

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Fathers are instrumental in helping prepare children 
                for life, instilling in them the values essential to 
                one day becoming responsible, grounded, and successful 
                adults. As a Nation, we are grateful to the men 
                dedicated to raising well-rounded children. On Father's 
                Day, we honor and celebrate our fathers and father 
                figures for their daily contributions to thriving 
                families and communities.

                The presence of fathers in the lives of our Nation's 
                children is important to their growth, development, and 
                well-being. Fathers serve as role models to their 
                children, exemplifying hard work, devotion to family, 
                self-confidence, and faith. Through their character, 
                determination, strength, and direction, they guide our 
                futures toward happiness. Thus, it is no surprise that 
                research increasingly shows involved fathers can help 
                foster self-esteem, success in school, empathy, and 
                positive behavior in their children.

                By raising children to be happy, productive, and 
                responsible adults, fathers play a critical role in 
                shaping our society. Our fathers set an example for us 
                of how to be our best in every aspect of our lives. The 
                lessons they teach us guide us as we strive to care for 
                our families, succeed at school and at work, serve 
                others, and contribute to our communities. They are 
                integral to raising future generations of Americans who 
                will continue to build an ever-stronger Nation. That is 
                why my Administration continues to provide grant 
                funding to organizations across our country that work 
                to strengthen relationships between fathers and their 
                children, foster responsible parenting, and help 
                fathers find and keep gainful employment.

                Our Nation is indebted to the men who have embraced the 
                great blessing and solemn duty of fatherhood. Every 
                day, they make sacrifices to ensure their children, 
                whether by birth, adoption, or foster care, receive the 
                care and affection they deserve. Today, we express our 
                everlasting gratitude to our fathers and father figures 
                for their love and commitment, and for all they have 
                done to shape our lives.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, in accordance with a joint 
                resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972, as 
                amended (36 U.S.C. 109), do hereby proclaim June 21, 
                2020, as Father's Day. I call on United States 
                Government officials to display the flag of the United 
                States on all Government buildings on Father's Day and 
                invite State and local governments and the people of 
                the United States to observe Father's Day with 
                appropriate ceremonies.
