On May 24, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation officially naming Memorial Day, May 26, 2025, as a day for Americans to pray for lasting peace. The proclamation asks people across the country to join in prayer starting at 11:00 a.m. local time and to observe a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. It also requests that flags be flown at half-staff on government buildings and naval ships until noon, and encourages citizens to do the same at their homes during the morning. This action affects all Americans, government officials, and state governors, as it calls for a unified national observance honoring those who died in military service. The proclamation is based on laws passed by Congress in 1950 and 2000 that ask the President to promote these observances. It matters because it sets a formal time for the nation to remember fallen soldiers and reflect on peace, using symbolic acts like prayer and flag lowering. Read full document →
