Law Day
... recalls two little known recognition days ...
Loyalty Day
and
Law Day
President Eisenhower proclaimed this date, May 1st, in 1955, as the first Loyalty Day. And, ever since that date, unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans, including myself until recently, Presidents have issued a proclamation about Loyalty Day. It's a special day "for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom."

Interestingly, then in 1958, President Eisenhower also proclaimed May 1 as Law Day - a day for the people of the United State to rededicate themselves "to the ideals of equality and justice under law" and to build more "respect for law that is so vital to the democratic way of life."
