                Proclamation 10894 of February 9, 2025

                
Gulf of America Day, 2025

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, 
                as the first ever Gulf of America Day.

                On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172 
                (``Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness''). 
                Among other actions, that Executive Order required the 
                Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 
                364 through 364f, to ``take all appropriate actions to 
                rename as the `Gulf of America' the U.S. Continental 
                Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and 
                northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana, 
                Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the 
                seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area 
                formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.''

                I took this action because, as stated in that order, 
                ``[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has 
                long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning 
                Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.''

                Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of 
                America since its renaming. As my Administration seeks 
                to restore American pride in the history of American 
                greatness, I think it is fitting and appropriate for 
                our great Nation to come together and commemorate this 
                momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of 
                America.

                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 February 9, 2025, as 
                Gulf of America Day. I call upon public officials and 
                all the people of the United States to observe this day 
                with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                ninth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
