Proclamation 6811 of July 21, 1995
Parents' Day, 1995
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Parenthood is among the most difficult and most
rewarding responsibilities in life. Balancing countless
demands, parents must be firm yet loving, protective
yet liberating. They are the nurturers of our dreams
and the soothers of our fears. They instill in their
children, by word and example, the importance of family
and community involvement, the value of education and
hard work.
Parenting is a serious responsibility. All parents have
an obligation to provide for the children they bring
into the world. Parents must teach and sustain, helping
to empower each new generation to meet the challenges
and opportunities of life with confidence.
Today, across our country, parents give their time and
energy to ensure a better future for their children.
Teaching the lessons of honesty and caring in a way
that no school or government can, America's parents
pass on the spirit, values, and traditions that have
made our Nation strong for more than two centuries.
Whether stepparents or foster parents, biological or
adoptive, parents provide the security, stability, and
love that enable children to grow up healthy, happy,
and strong.
Parents' Day is a welcome opportunity to celebrate the
special and powerful bond between parent and child. On
this occasion, let us remember and pay respect to those
who give us the daily support and loving guidance that
lead us to become responsible and contributing
citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, in accordance with Public Law
103-362, do hereby proclaim Sunday, July 23, 1995, as
``Parents' Day.'' I invite the States, communities, and
the people of the United States to observe this day
with appropriate ceremonies and activities expressing
gratitude and abiding affection for parents.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and twentieth.
(Presidential Sig.)
