in effect
Proclamation 10926 is a presidential proclamation signed by President Donald J. Trump on April 29, 2025, designating that date as a commemorative day marking the 418th anniversary of the First Landing and the raising of the Cape Henry Cross in Virginia. It is a ceremonial declaration with no regulatory or legal enforcement mechanism; it simply names a day of recognition.
The proclamation formally designates April 29, 2025 as a day of celebration for the 418th anniversary of the 1607 landing of English settlers at Cape Henry, Virginia, and the erection of a wooden cross there. It does not amend any statute, create any new program, appropriate any funds, or impose any requirement on any government agency or private party. No deadline, penalty, or administrative mechanism is established. The only concrete effect is the official federal recognition of that specific calendar date for that commemorative purpose.
No individual, organization, or government agency is legally required to take any action as a result of this proclamation. It carries symbolic federal recognition and may inform or encourage voluntary commemorative events, particularly at the Cape Henry site in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where a granite cross already stands at the historic landing location.
