During National Hispanic Heritage Month, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation recognizing the significant contributions of Hispanic-American citizens throughout history and in contemporary society. The proclamation highlights the involvement of Hispanic-Americans in military service, law enforcement, border security, and public service roles.
The President stated, "During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize the extraordinary contributions of Hispanic-American citizens past and present — and we honor their vibrant spirit, unyielding resilience, and inspiring commitment to our shared American values."
He further noted that members of the Hispanic-American community have played important roles in supporting national interests. "Hispanic-American patriots have served on the front lines of our military, law enforcement, border security, and in public service. They have enlivened our communities and enthusiastically embodied our national promise — defending our sovereignty, protecting our flag, and living out the eternal values of faith, family, and freedom. Every day, my Administration is working tirelessly to bring opportunity, prosperity, and success to citizens of every background," Trump said.
The proclamation also emphasized ongoing efforts by his administration to foster opportunity for all Americans: "As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize the resounding strength and success of the Hispanic-American community. We honor their tremendous contributions to our culture, economy, and future. Above all, we recommit to making America stronger and greater than ever before."
Congress has authorized the annual observance through Public Law 100-402 as amended. The law designates September 15 through October 15 each year as “National Hispanic Heritage Month.”
President Trump concluded with a call for participation: "NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America...do hereby proclaim September 15 through October 15, 2025 as National Hispanic Heritage Month. I call on public officials, educators, librarians and all Americans to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies activities and programs."
