In the intricate tapestry of American life, mothers stand as essential threads, weaving love and resilience into the very fabric of our families and communities. From the moment we take our first breath to the day we forge our own paths, mothers are the architects of our character, guiding us with their unwavering support and nurturing spirit. As we approach this Mother’s Day, we take a moment to honor the extraordinary contributions of mothers across the nation, whose boundless love and dedication have shaped not just individual lives, but the collective future of our great country.
From our earliest days, mothers embody patience, wisdom, and kindness, teaching us the art of love and helping us navigate life’s myriad challenges. They are our steadfast allies, providing comfort and inspiration at every turn. Their influence stretches across generations, transcending time and circumstance, reminding us that their love is a timeless force.
Mothers act as vigilant protectors, safeguarding the well-being of their children and instilling values that serve as the cornerstone of character. Their dedication—manifested in time, talents, and unwavering commitment—uplifts those they nurture. In recognition of this vital role, my administration is steadfast in its commitment to support and empower American mothers and families. Whether it’s advocating for the inherent dignity of every human life, assisting mothers facing unexpected pregnancies, or making fertility treatments more financially accessible, we aim to create an environment where families can flourish. My ongoing efforts to defend the child tax credit underscore our mission to ensure that families can achieve a high standard of living, even on a single income.
Under my leadership, we are not merely pursuing the American Dream; we are ensuring its accessibility for all families and children. I will remain vigilant in protecting the rights of parents to raise their children in an environment free from the encroaching ideologies that seek to undermine familial bonds and parental authority.
On this Mother’s Day, and indeed every day, we pay tribute to the selfless service of mothers throughout our nation. We extend our heartfelt thanks for their endless love and lifelong devotion, celebrating their profound impact on our families, communities, culture, and the nation as a whole. As mandated by the Congress in a joint resolution on May 8, 1914, which established Mother’s Day as a national observance, we reflect on the importance of this day.
THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by the authority granted to me by the Constitution and the laws of this great nation, hereby proclaim May 11, 2025, as Mother’s Day. I urge all Americans to express their love and respect for birth mothers, adoptive mothers, foster mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and the myriad women who embody the spirit of motherhood—each playing a vital role in steering our future. Whether they are with us in person or in spirit, let us reflect on the significance of motherhood in fostering the prosperity of our families, communities, and nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
ninth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
