Proclamation 10990, issued by President Trump on November 10, 2025, is a presidential proclamation commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps. It officially designates November 10, 2025 as a day of commemoration and calls on government officials and the public to observe it with flag displays and appropriate ceremonies.
The proclamation directs all government officials to fly the U.S. flag over government buildings on November 10, 2025. It encourages private citizens to display the flag and hold commemorative ceremonies on that date. The document also references an administration defense investment of more than $150 billion aimed at modernizing military capabilities, including shipbuilding, missile defense, and advanced technology, framed as ongoing support for the Marine Corps. No new laws, regulations, or binding mandates on private parties are created; the commemorative designation and flag directive apply to a single calendar date.
Federal, state, and local government officials and agencies are directed to fly the U.S. flag on November 10, 2025. Members of the public, particularly those with ties to the Marine Corps, are encouraged (but not required) to participate in commemorative activities. Active-duty Marines, veterans, and their families are the primary honorees of the proclamation.
