  • Commemorative Observances: a Chronological List
    Order Code 98-45 C Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Updated February 12, 2003 Glenda Richardson Information Research Specialist Information Research Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Summary Historically, national commemorative observances were often recommended by Congress through the legislative process. 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. This report will be updated periodically during the year.

  • 96 Stat. 2764 Proclamation 4968—Sept. 14, 1982
    96 STAT. 2764 PROCLAMATION 4968—SEPT. 14, 1982 Proclamation 4968 of September 14,1982 Child Health Day, 1982 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation There is no better way for this Nation to invest in its future than by foster­ ing the health of its children. We can best do this by encouraging children to develop good health habits and attitudes and by giving them the protec­ tion of immunization. Good health habits and practices begun in childhood are the prelude to positive health throughout life. Healthy children foreshadow vigorous adults whose communities will bene­ fit from their energy and productivity. All of us should know how the per­ sonal choices we make can help prevent disease and promote good health and to transfer this knowledge to our children. By working together, par­ ents, schools, private and voluntary organizations, and government can effect a beneficial and lasting change in the health of our Nation and the lives of our children. NOW, THEREFORE, I. RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, pursuant to a joint resolution of May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143), do hereby proclaim Monday, October 4, 1982, as Child Health Day. I urge all Americans to join me in encouraging good health habits and atti­ tudes in our children and call upon all citizens to observe Child Health Day with appropriate activities directed toward establishing such practices in the youth of our Country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept.

  • 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.
