250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord

The order directs Federal agencies to recognize April 19, 2025, as a day of commemoration for the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. This commemoration is intended to honor the sacrifices made by those who fought in these battles, and to renew commitment to the principles of independence and self-government for which they stood. The directive does not specify actions to be taken by individual agencies, but implies a general expectation of acknowledgement and commemoration.
