US Holiday On September 24 2022?

The following is a compilation of American federal holidays, federal observances, state holidays and other common patriotic and national observances and commemorations that apply to the United States during Saturday, 2022-09-24:

  • National Hunting and Fishing Day:

    [pro] On this day we reflect on the value hunting and fishing bring to our lives -- from fortified family bonds to a renewed appreciation for nature -- and conservation efforts to ensure future generations will have the same opportunity to take part in this experience. According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    Across America, hunting and fishing connect people of all ages to our Nation's splendor, instilling a conservation ethic that spans generations. As mist clears off glistening lakes and fog lifts from forests and grasslands, sportsmen and women carry forward a proud tradition rooted in self-reliance and environmental stewardship. On National Hunting and Fishing Day, we recognize all those who responsibly participate in these national pastimes and their contributions to the preservation of our land, water, and wildlife.
  • National Public Lands Day:

    [pro] On this day, Americans of all ages will help maintain and restore outdoor resources and ecosystems at more than 2,200 sites across the United States. Volunteers will remove trash from the beaches and clear debris from the hiking trails;from coast to coast, they will plant new trees, remove invasive species, and complete large and small projects to beautify and preserve our open spaces. According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    From sandy beaches to snow-capped mountain tops, America's vast and varied landscapes stretch the breadth of our continent. These treasured spaces support outdoor recreation, serve as living classrooms and laboratories, and boost our local economies. Today, one-third of all our Nation's land is publicly owned -- set aside for the use and enjoyment of every American. As we celebrate the expansive and magnificent beauty bequeathed to us by generations past, we recognize our profound obligation as caretakers of this natural bounty, and we rededicate ourselves to the important work of preserving and protecting our land and environment in our own time.
  • National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week - Day 7:

    [pro] This week serves as an opportunity to recognizes that historically Black colleges and universities have been educating students for more than 100 years;and to commend the historically Black colleges and universities for their commitment to academic excellence for all students, including low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    For generations, the promise of an education has been a beacon of hope for millions of Americans seeking a better life. At a time when it was deemed illegal for African Americans to learn to read or write, brave men and women took great risks to learn these skills in secret. And after the Civil War, determined individuals made extraordinary sacrifices to establish the institutions we know today as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These schools waged a war against illiteracy and ignorance and offered a newly free people the opportunity to write their own chapter in the American story. This week, we honor their important legacy and renew our commitment to their spirit: that every person deserves a chance to succeed.
  • National Farm Safety and Health Week - Day 7:

    [pro] This week is meant to celebrate the value, dedication and contributions of American agriculturists and their families serving in the farms and it is also an opportunity to promote secure environments and best work practices in the farms. According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    Farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers form the cornerstones of some of America's most essential economic sectors. Their products feed, clothe, and fuel our Nation. Their way of life -- handed down from generation to generation -- is central to the American story. During National Farm Safety and Health Week, we celebrate our agricultural producers' values, experiences, and contributions, and we recommit to secure work environments on all our country's farms.
  • National Hispanic-Serving Institutions Week - Day 7:

    [pro] This week is an opportunity to recognize the tremendous impact of the Hispanic-serving institutions and support their valuable work. According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    In America, every child should have access to a world-class education. Our Nation's classrooms cultivate and challenge young minds and build a skilled and competitive workforce, securing a brighter future for our children and our country. Across America, Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) provide essential education opportunities and play a vital role in fulfilling our responsibility to the rising group of Hispanic innovators, entrepreneurs, artists, and scholars. This week, we honor these halls of learning and recommit ourselves to inspiring and preparing the next generation of leaders.
