Proclamation 4743 of April 1, 1980

Mother's Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Each year, we set aside a special day of celebration to thank this Nation's mothers for the role they play in our lives. Mother's Day 1980 finds the always demanding role of being a mother made even more complex by the choices modern women have that were not available to women of previous generations. Today's mothers are involved in every aspect of business, politics, education, sports, the arts, the sciences, and government, and yet they still remain at the core of this Nation's greatest natural resource—the American family. Whether they seek careers or work full time in the home, mothers contribute immensely to our Nation's future by shaping the character of our children.
