Why does this article exist?
editAll the references are to unreliable web sites. If the URLs ended with .gov or had something to do with Harvard or the Smithsonian, that might be different. Then there's the issue of notability. Many such proclamations have been issued over the years, both before and after George Washington. If the article had something to say about why it's important, that might justify it, but as it stands it's essentially trivia spamming for a link-farm. Zyxwv99 (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
March comes before July
editThe first proclamation in the independent United States was issued by John Hancock as President of the Continental Congress as a day of fasting on March 16, 1776.
