Proclamation 10919 is a presidential proclamation signed April 17, 2025, by President Donald J. Trump. It designates April 19, 2025, as a commemorative day marking the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord and the start of the American Revolutionary War.
The proclamation establishes April 19, 2025, as an official commemorative date on the federal calendar. It carries no binding legal mandates, creates no new programs, allocates no funds, and imposes no obligations on agencies or individuals. The document is declaratory in nature — its sole concrete effect is adding a named commemorative day to the public record via the Federal Register.
This proclamation has no direct regulatory or financial impact on any individuals, businesses, or government agencies. Federal agencies, schools, museums, and historical organizations may choose to mark the day with events or programming, but are not required to do so. The general public is the intended audience for the commemorative recognition.
