A PROCLAMATION
“I Am An American Day/’ 1948
Pursuant to the following Proclamation by the President of
the United States designating Sunday, May 16, 1948, as “I AM AN
AMERICAN DAY:”
WHEREAS the stature of our country has been augmented by
the millions who have come here and from other lands to realize
their dreams of liberty and opportunity; and
WHEREAS the vigor of our national life is constantly renewed
by the coming of age of our native-born youth, who add their
strength to the cause of preserving the heritage which has been
held in trust for them; and
WHEREAS loyalty to a great ideal has brought together people
of every race, creed, and culture—all blended into a unity which
has been the strength of our country and has enabled it to meet
every crisis; and
WHEREAS the trying problems both foreign and domestic,
which face our Nation today require unselfish devotion and united
effort on the part of all our citizens;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S. TRUMAN, President of the
United States of America, under and by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Congress in a joint resolution approved May 3,
1940 (54 Stat. 178), do hereby designate Sunday, May 16, 1948, as
I AM AN AMERICAN DAY, and do set aside that day as an occasion
for stressing the worth and meaning of American citizenship and
rendering special recognition to those who have been naturalized
during the past year as well as to those of our youth who have
reached their majority and are ready to assume the full responsi
bilities of citizenship.
I call upon Federal, State, and local officials, as well as patri
otic, civic, and educational organizations, to conduct exercises on
or about May 16 expressing thankfulness for the rights and priv
ileges of American citizenship and solemn acceptance of our obliga
tions as citizens, at home and abroad, to the end that peace and
happiness may be attained by Americans and by other peoples
everywhere.
NOW, THEREFORE, I LEW M. WILLIAMS, Acting Governor
of Alaska call the attention of the people of Alaska to this Procla
mation, and urge that they participate in observing this day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto sub-j
scribed my hand and caused the Seal of the Ter- ]
ritory of Alaska to be affixed at Juneau, the
capital, this 28th day of April, in the year of our
Lord nineteen hundred and forty-eight.
(Signed) LEW M. WILLIAMS,
Acting Governor of Alaska
