Proclamation on Memorial Day, 2026

To honor the memory of fallen military personnel on Memorial Day and encourage national observance.

Constitutional concerns with the original

The Proclamation is a ceremonial act within the President's Article II authority to recognize national holidays and does not require legislative grounding.

Solution text

NOW, THEREFORE, I, [President's Name], President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 25, 2026, as a day of prayer and remembrance for the men and women who have died in military service to our Nation. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and acts of devotion, including the placing of flags at half-staff until noon, and to honor the memory of our fallen heroes by visiting cemeteries and memorials. I also direct the heads of executive departments and agencies to ensure that the flag of the United States is displayed at half-staff on all government buildings and grounds. This Proclamation is issued in accordance with the President's constitutional authority under Article II, Section 3 to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and to recommend measures to the Congress, and consistent with 4 U.S.C. § 7(m) regarding the display of the flag on Memorial Day.
