The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation calling on — (1) the people of the United States to observe National Maritime Day by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes or other suitable places;and (2) United States Government officials to display the flag on all Government buildings on National Maritime Day.

[pro] This week is a time to inform the people about the benefits of trade for the United States and the world economy. According to the Presidential Proclamation (2015), After 6 years of tremendous progress, America has fought its way back from the worst recession of our lifetimes. With the grit and determination of working families, we have rebuilt our economy, retooled the auto industry, and revitalized American manufacturing. Our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace in over a decade, and as this progress continues, we must ensure that all Americans can share in our Nation's prosperity. This conviction is at the core of middle-class economics, and few things are as vital to ensuring that our economy benefits all Americans as trade. Trade allows our people to work, our businesses to thrive, and our goods and services to compete on a global scale. This week, we reaffirm the importance of trade, and we redouble our efforts to position our workers, farmers, manufacturers, and businesses at the center of the 21st-century global economy.
Emergency Medical Services Week - Day 7:
[pro] This week is an opportunity to recognize the work of Emergency Medical Services(EMS) personnel and to thank them for their heroic contributions to our lives. According to the Presidential Proclamation (2015), Few moments are as terrifying as those when medical emergencies strike. But thanks to the courageous efforts of all who provide emergency medical services (EMS), Americans know they and their loved ones will be cared for in their hours of greatest need. As we mark Emergency Medical Services Week, we thank these selfless women and men, and we recommit to upholding an EMS system that is ready every day for every emergency.
