LOYALTY DAY, 1993

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
"Loyalty Day" is an occasion on which we reaffirm our
allegiance to our country and our devotion to the ideals on
which it was founded. Our government "by the people" respects
and protects the natural rights and freedoms of all citizens,
without favor, and deserves our abiding fidelity.
For more than 200 years, people from around the
world have immigrated to America, bringing their dreams and
aspirations to a country that prides itself on its democratic
ideals. There is no greater testament to the success of our
system of governance than people's desire to be a part of
the great American experiment. Our Founders designed that
system on the principles of individual liberties and rights of
self-determination. Our Nation stands as a beacon of hope for
all those who embrace these ideas.
Generations of Americans have demonstrated loyalty and
devotion to their country and have gone to great lengths to
preserve their freedom. Many have fought and died so that
future generations could continue the proud traditions of
our Nation. To acknowledge this loyalty and love of country,
the Congress, by a joint resolution approved July 18, 1958
(72 Stat. 369; 36 U.S.C. 162), has designated May 1 of each
year as "Loyalty Day."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 1993, as
Loyalty Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day
with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including public
recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the
United States. I also call upon government officials to display
the flag on all government buildings and grounds on this day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and
ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the two hundred and seventeenth.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON
