The President
Proclamation 6754 of November 4, 1994
National Military Families Recognition Day, 1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Military families play an integral role in ensuring the
effectiveness of America's Armed Forces. Without
fanfare, they selflessly provide behind-the-scenes
support to service members, their units, and commands
worldwide. Their devotion to their loved ones, to the
military, and to their country is unfaltering.
Time and again, military families bravely bid farewell
as wives and husbands, children and parents depart for
missions in far-off, often hostile areas. Committed to
preserving freedom and democracy for all of us, these
families provide the continuity and stability essential
to the well-being of our soldiers, sailors, airmen,
Marines, and the members of our Coast Guard, National
Guard, and Reserves.
Military families face abrupt separations, moves to
foreign soil, and tours in isolated locations away from
friends. As they adjust to conditions around the world,
they learn to do without many of the conveniences that
most Americans view as basics. They quickly and adeptly
transform unfamiliar quarters into welcoming homes,
forming bonds of friendship with others in the unit,
sharing in their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
Commanders and other Department of Defense leaders have
long recognized the paramount importance of families in
the retention and readiness of military members.
Indeed, America reaps invaluable benefits from the
dedication of military families as they support
America's mission to promote democracy and to secure
peace.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim November 21, 1994, as
``National Military Families Recognition Day.'' I call
upon all Americans to join in honoring military
families throughout the world and in recognizing their
integral role in supporting the men and women who
defend the cause of freedom at home and abroad. I ask
Federal, State, and local officials and private
organizations to observe this day with appropriate
ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and nineteenth.
