What it is

This is a presidential proclamation (Proclamation 10981), signed October 10, 2025, designating October 11, 2025 as General Pulaski Memorial Day. It is a ceremonial declaration with no regulatory or legal mandates attached; it calls on Americans to commemorate those who contributed to the nation.

What it changes

October 11, 2025 is officially named General Pulaski Memorial Day for that year. The proclamation does not create a federal holiday, alter any work schedules, or establish funding or programs. It carries no deadlines, penalties, or enforcement mechanisms. The only concrete direction it gives is an encouragement for Americans to mark the occasion with commemoration.

Who is affected

No specific organization, agency, or individual is legally required to do anything as a result of this proclamation. Polish-American communities and groups that observe Pulaski Day are the primary intended audience for the commemoration call. The proclamation has symbolic rather than operational effect on any person or institution.
