Proclamation 10466 of October 5, 2022
German-American Day, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Since 1683, when thirteen families arrived in
Philadelphia and founded the first German settlement in
North America, generations of Germans have put their
faith in the promises of this land and set down roots
in communities across this country. On German-American
Day, we honor the German immigrants who added their
dreams to the American story, and we celebrate their
descendants who continue to nurture and enrich the soul
of this Nation.
From championing the anti-slavery movement to helping
establish the freedom of the press, from introducing
the concept of kindergarten to advocating for universal
education, and from inspiring the music we love to
influencing the food we eat and beer we drink--German-
Americans have strengthened our Nation's character and
sustained our progress and prosperity. Today, they are
leaders in every industry and every community,
spearheading innovation and making essential
contributions to our Nation's success.
On German-American Day, let us also reaffirm the United
States' vital alliance with Germany and our enduring
bonds to its people. As the closest of friends, the
most reliable of partners, and strong NATO Allies, our
countries work together around the world to advance our
shared commitment to democratic principles, human
rights, and the rules-based international order.
Together, we will continue to stand against
authoritarianism and advance freedom and opportunity
for all people.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, do hereby proclaim
October 6, 2022, as German-American Day. I urge all
Americans to celebrate the rich and varied history of
German-Americans and remember the many contributions
they have made to our Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
seventh.
