THE UNITED PRI THE STATES. OF
Father's Day, 1975
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Growing up has never been easy. We have all experienced moments
of sorrow, disappointment, and frustration. And there have been times of
joy and great satisfaction. For each of us, there have been special men
along the way-men who cared.
They loved us and made us feel important. They helped provide for
our needs. They took time to work and to play with us. And we often
modelled ourselves after them.
These men who have given SO much of themselves are our natural
fathers, our foster fathers, our adoptive fathers and our big brothers. It
is a fitting American tradition that once a year we pay a well-deserved
tribute to these fathers of America.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of Con-
gress (36 U.S.C. 142a), urge each American to observe Sunday, June 15,
1975, as Father's Day, with appropriate public and private expressions
of the love and gratitude we bear for our fathers.
I call upon Government officials to display the flag of the United
States on all Government buildings, and I invite the governments of the
States and local communities to observe Father's Day with appropriate
ceremonies.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-
seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-
five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one
hundred ninety-ninth.

Father's Day, 1976
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
On the third Sunday in June, 1976, Americans will observe Father's Day as they
have most of this century.
Father's Day, 1976, should be of special significance in our Nation's Bicentennial
Year. Through two centuries our American fathers have successfully and heroically
defended the liberties of this Nation in war and in peace. American fathers have pre-
served the precious legacy of liberty and passed it, enhanced, to their children and
future generations.
On this special day, at a time when more Americans live in greater freedom than
ever before, let us honor our fathers not only for their loving counsel, guidance, pro-
tection and support, but also for their courage in assuming the challenges and respon-
sibilities synonymous with fatherhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of
America, in accordance with a joint resolution of the Congress (36 U.S.C. 142a), do
hereby request that Sunday, June 20, 1976, be observed as Father's Day, with appro-
priate public and private expressions of the love and gratitude we bear for our fathers.
I call upon the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United
States on all Government buildings on that day, and urge all citizens to do likewise
at their homes and other suitable places.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh
day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of America the two hundredth.
