Father's Day, 2025

Proclamation 10953 of June 13, 2025

Father's Day, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

America's fathers are the custodians of our strength,
the leaders of our families, and the protectors of our
security and safety. This Father's Day, my
Administration pays tribute to every father whose
fierce love, heroic devotion, and inspiring example are
molding the next generation.

Whether by birth, adoption, or father figures,
America's dads help shape the character and future of
our Nation. Through their example, they instill
strength, integrity, and perseverance in their
children. They rise early, work late, make sacrifices,
and remain steadfast in their love and commitment to
their families. Fathers lead through action, speak with
purpose, and impart wisdom honed by experience. From
their children's earliest days as infants through their
journey into adulthood, fathers leave a lasting
influence that reaches far beyond the walls of their
homes.

The presence of a father also serves to plant the seeds
of virtue and instill American values in their
children. For many, dads are the first to teach the
value of hard work, love of country, and the importance
of living with conviction. With every generation, these
lessons are carried forth.

As President, I am fighting every day for America's
fathers and families--preserving the Child Tax Credit,
expanding school choice, and restoring the fundamental
rights of parents to raise their children free from
Government interference. I will always stand with our
dads in shielding children from the toxic lies of
gender ideology, and I will never stop working to keep
our neighborhoods safe by backing our law enforcement,
crushing violent crime, and ensuring our southern
border remains sealed and secure. Together, we are
building a Nation where fathers can lead with strength,
protect their families, and pass on the timeless values
that make America great.

Today, we celebrate the invaluable role our fathers
play in shaping our families, guiding our communities,
and strengthening our country--and we offer our
unending thanks for their leadership, selflessness, and
inspiration.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, in accordance with a joint
resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972, as
amended (36 U.S.C. 109), do hereby proclaim June 15,
2025, as Father's Day. I call on United States
Government officials to display the flag of the United
States on all Government buildings on Father's Day and
invite State and local governments and the people of
the United States to observe Father's Day with
appropriate ceremonies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirteenth day of June, 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.
