FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 27, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
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 Congress (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.
GERALD R. FORD
