11	11	Relating to: proclaiming May 1, 2023, as Loyalty Day in Wisconsin.
12	12	Whereas, beginning as Americanization Day in 1921 to combat political

14	14	Americans to reaffirm allegiance to the United States and recognize the heritage of
15	15	American freedom; and
16	16	Whereas, following Loyalty Day's recognition by Congress on April 27, 1955,
17	17	during the Second Red Scare, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first
18	18	presidential proclamation in observance of the patriotic holiday; and
19	19	Whereas, regardless of his political affiliation, every president has issued a
20	20	proclamation in observance of Loyalty Day every year since Congress made it an
21	21	official legal holiday on July 18, 1958; and
22	22	Whereas, since the time of the American Revolution, the United States has
23	23	stood for freedom, both at home and abroad; and
24	24	Whereas, other countries do not have the rights afforded to Americans and
25	25	many are even deprived of basic human rights or ruled by tyrants; and

45	45	renewed appreciation for the morals and ideals our young country was founded upon;
46	46	and
47	47	Whereas, while the debt to the many who have died for our freedoms can never
48	48	be repaid, we can ensure that value is placed in the gift of freedom they have given
