PROCLAMATION 6627—NOV. 18, 1993
107 STAT. 2763
Today's children will also be tomorrow's parents. To preserve the
American Dream, the fiber of our Nation must be strengthened. By instilling a common purpose and assuring ourselves that children are receiving the best and most comprehensive care possible, we can face the
awesome challenges that lie ahead. We can start at the family level to
bring our country together, solve problems, and make progress.
So I ask all Americans to reaffirm this Nation's commitment to its children. I appeal specifically to parents to spend quality time each day
with their children, to listen to their concerns and dreams, and to
guide them well as they make the transition into adolescence and
adulthood. We have a right and an obligation to make sure our children can rise as far and as high as their talents and determination will
let them.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 139, has designated the third
Sunday in November as "National Children's Day" and has authorized
and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of
this day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United
States of America, do hereby proclaim November 21, 1993, as National
Children's Day. On this day and every day, I urge all Americans to express their love, advocacy, and appreciation for their children and all
children of the world. I invite Federal officials. State and local governments, and particularly the American family, to join together in observing this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities to honor our
Nation's children.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth
day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the
two hundred and eighteenth.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Military families are diverse, strong, resourceful, and patriotic. The
men and women who serve our country understand that their families
provide essential support and make enormous sacrifices every day. We,
as a Nation, must also recognize the unselfish contributions of our
military families wherever they may be around the world.
As we go about the routine business of our lives, it is easy to forget
the daily hardships, inconveniences, separations, and disruptions that
our service men and women and their families endure to protect America. These dedicated individuals will affirm that it is their families
who invariably sustain them and warm their hearts. In every city and
State and in many countries worldwide, service men and women
proudly note that ttie highlight of their day is that special smile, telephone call, or letter they receive. The military family is the motiva-
