What it is

Proclamation 11005 is a presidential proclamation signed on January 20, 2026, designating that date — the one-year anniversary of the start of the Trump Administration’s second term — as “National Day of Patriotic Devotion.” It is a symbolic declaration with no regulatory or legal mandate attached; it names a commemorative day and states its purpose as strengthening national unity and renewing the duties of government to the people.

What it changes

The proclamation formally places January 20, 2026 on the federal calendar as a named commemorative day. It does not create a federal holiday, impose obligations on agencies or the public, or amend any existing law or regulation. The document’s operative text is limited to the proclamation of the day itself; the remainder of the text reviews the Administration’s stated policy accomplishments over the prior year, including border enforcement actions, economic measures, the passage of legislation referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and foreign policy initiatives, but those descriptions are narrative rather than operative directives.

Who is affected

No specific legal obligations fall on individuals, agencies, or organizations as a direct result of this proclamation. As a commemorative designation, it is directed at the general public in a symbolic capacity — inviting Americans to observe the day. Federal agencies are not directed to close, alter operations, or take any specific action under this proclamation.
