Loyalty Day is observed annually on May 1 in the United States. It was established as a counterbalance to International Workers’ Day and to reaffirm loyalty to the United States while recognizing the American heritage of freedom. President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed the first official observance of Loyalty Day on May 1, 1959, and every president has recognized it with an official proclamation since then.
