        Section 2.  May first shall henceforth be designated, and
     known as, "American Loyalty Day," and the Governor is urged to
     request its observance as a day upon which the citizens shall
     have the opportunity to learn the meaning of loyalty to one's
     country, and one's country's loyalty to its citizens, to the end
     that we shall be a citizenry of united loyalty.
        Section 3.  All Pennsylvanians with deep affection for their
     State and Country shall grasp the occasion of American Loyalty
     Day as a rare opportunity to inspire the youth of our great
