                Proclamation 10387 of April 29, 2022

                
Loyalty Day, 2022

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On Loyalty Day, we reaffirm our allegiance to the 
                Nation we share and to the principles of freedom, 
                justice, equality, and dignity enshrined in the 
                Declaration of Independence and the United States 
                Constitution.

                Our unity and common purpose as Americans--not hindered 
                but strengthened by our differences--is and has always 
                been the source of our limitless potential. The weaving 
                together of diverse cultures, heritages, religions, 
                backgrounds, and ideals across generations has sparked 
                our capacity to build the strongest, freest, and most 
                prosperous country the world has ever known. And though 
                we have not always fully lived up to our founding 
                promise of equality and justice for all, we have never 
                fully walked away from that promise either. It is up to 
                each of us to heed the call of our Constitution--to do 
                all that we can to form a more perfect Union, coming 
                together around the values and ideals that make us one 
                united people.

                Today, we salute the Americans whose hard work and 
                sacrifice have strengthened our Nation in common 
                cause--including veterans who have defended our country 
                in uniform; abolitionists, suffragists, activists, and 
                advocates who have helped deliver the full promise of 
                America to more Americans; workers and entrepreneurs 
                whose ingenuity and vision have helped expand the 
                possibilities of life in our Nation; and countless 
                others who have made America a beacon of hope for 
                people throughout the world.

                We also extend our deep and abiding gratitude to the 
                members of our Armed Forces, as well as to their 
                families, caregivers, and survivors. We thank our 
                dedicated educators for their essential work lifting up 
                the next generation of Americans, and we applaud our 
                first responders and other essential workers for their 
                selflessness and determination every day--especially 
                throughout these past 2 years, as they have carried our 
                Nation on their backs. May 1 is also International 
                Workers' Day--and today, we honor the workers of every 
                age and background who built this country and who 
                continue to help build a better America today. Today 
                and every day, we are grateful to all of the workers 
                who have organized and fought to improve our Nation and 
                create a fairer and more just society for all.

                To celebrate our shared American spirit and the 
                sacrifices so many of our fellow citizens have made, 
                the Congress, by Public Law 85-529, as amended, has 
                designated the first day of May each year as Loyalty 
                Day. On this day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the 
                values that bind us together and honor all those who 
                have defended our freedom and ideals.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 
                2022, as Loyalty Day. This Loyalty Day, I call upon the 
                people of the United States to join in this national 
                observance, display the American flag, and pledge 
                allegiance to our Republic for which it stands.
