This practice was for the most part discontinued by the House of Representatives in January 1995, although the Senate continues to issue sense of the Senate resolutions recommending the establishment of commemoratives. It has now become standard practice for special observances to be designated by a proclamation issued by the President. A recent noteworthy departure from current congressional policy is P.L. 107-89, which designates September 11 as Patriot Day and calls upon the President to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to commemorate Patriot Day. This report is a chronological list of these proclamations for 2002 and 2003, indicating the proclamation number and its Federal Register citation.

  • National Child Health Day October 2, 2017
    National Child Health Day October 2, 2017 Are you excited for the most important day of the year? No, it’s not Thanksgiving. No it’s not Halloween. This October 2nd it’s National Child Health Day! National Child Health Day is an important day to bring awareness of how we can better our children’s lives. Health organizations across the United States take part in many activities and events such as providing educational resources discussing https://goo.gl/yTxhvk healthy choices, fitness, and child obesity prevention. https://goo.gl/TgBkXt But don’t let this day for children be the only day we fight for healthier children. Our children are the future and it is up to us to prepare strong, healthy children to face the challenges we face everyday. But what can you do? Get children cooking! Studies show that children that are involved in making their own meals are more likely to try them! Yes, we’re talking about your picky eaters! And don’t forget to turn mealtime into family time. Ask your child about their day, what they did, and how they felt. Kid’s want to be a part of the conversation, so let them! Their lives may not https://goo.gl/Za5LuQ be as hectic compared to yours, but to them, it was and they are thrilled to share. Certainly never forget about getting plenty of outdoor play. Children need to be active to stay healthy and to learn about what they’re bodies can do! Toss a ball, go for a hike, start a garden, play some tag, or simply use your imagination and go on all sorts of fun adventures.
