American Eagle Day was first recognized in 1995 by President Bill Clinton and Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist. To date, governors from 49 states have signed proclamations naming June 20 as American Eagle Day.

Until American Eagle Day was established, there had never been a “national day” set aside to annually recognize our country’s inspirational national bird and the role that it has played in our lives, past and present. Together, we can make June 20th an annual day to remember and commemorate this majestic and important American symbol.
