The President
                Proclamation 6754 of November 4, 1994

 

National Military Families Recognition Day, 1994

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Military families play an integral role in ensuring the 
                effectiveness of America's Armed Forces. Without 
                fanfare, they selflessly provide behind-the-scenes 
                support to service members, their units, and commands 
                worldwide. Their devotion to their loved ones, to the 
                military, and to their country is unfaltering.

                Time and again, military families bravely bid farewell 
                as wives and husbands, children and parents depart for 
                missions in far-off, often hostile areas. Committed to 
                preserving freedom and democracy for all of us, these 
                families provide the continuity and stability essential 
                to the well-being of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, 
                Marines, and the members of our Coast Guard, National 
                Guard, and Reserves.

                Military families face abrupt separations, moves to 
                foreign soil, and tours in isolated locations away from 
                friends. As they adjust to conditions around the world, 
                they learn to do without many of the conveniences that 
                most Americans view as basics. They quickly and adeptly 
                transform unfamiliar quarters into welcoming homes, 
                forming bonds of friendship with others in the unit, 
                sharing in their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

                Commanders and other Department of Defense leaders have 
                long recognized the paramount importance of families in 
                the retention and readiness of military members. 
                Indeed, America reaps invaluable benefits from the 
                dedication of military families as they support 
                America's mission to promote democracy and to secure 
                peace.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 November 21, 1994, as 
                ``National Military Families Recognition Day.'' I call 
                upon all Americans to join in honoring military 
                families throughout the world and in recognizing their 
                integral role in supporting the men and women who 
                defend the cause of freedom at home and abroad. I ask 
                Federal, State, and local officials and private 
                organizations to observe this day with appropriate 
                ceremonies and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and nineteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
