It seems that currently the United States executive branch issues two separate proclamations declaring May 1 as both Loyalty Day and Law Day. For example, in 2008 George Bush declared May 1 as Loyalty Day in Proclamation 8245, and Law Day in Proclamation 8250. Loyalty Day seems to have been established through the efforts of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Law Day through the American Bar Association.
WHAT! I am outraged. Goo. Thank god no one celebrates it. Graft
In 2001, Congress passed a law proclaiming May 1st as "Loyalty Day." This was followed by a proclamation by President George Bush. This is an extremely common thing for Congress to do -- nearly every day and week is proclaimed to be set aside for the observance or remembrance of this or that. It keeps special interest groups happy and costs no money. "Loyalty Day" is not a holiday, does not appear on calenders, and is not celebrated. Few people are aware it was created.

Whew. Graft
Moved here. No one from the US I know even knew that the day existed.
So, where exactly is this celebrated? Graft
Here's a picture of a loyalty day parade from 1917. Is this legit?

As far as I can tell, the first presidential "proclamation" didn't take place until 1959, the year after the bill was signed. The signing statement is not a "proclamation", but rather the yearly official statement of the observance by the President. Mike Dillon 02:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I merged the Americanization Day article in with Loyalty Day, since the latter basically repeats the information in the former, plus contains more information on the whole concept. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 23:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
how do we celebrate loyalty day?
The VFW in Batavia, Illinois, has sponsored a Loyalty Day parade on the first Sunday in May for 33 years (as of this year). The first Loyalty Day Parade was held in Batavia in 1975. Source: www.bataviavfw.org/loyaltyday.htm. PlaysInPeoria 05:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

He also did this in 2003.
I reverted a change from Labour to Labor, making it Labour again. Reason - Labor directs to the US holiday in September, Labour directs to the worldwide workers' holiday that was seen as communist, which is what this article alleges Loyalty Day was created to oppose. I COULD simply change it via a pipe, I guess, which might make it less likely to be reverted by some other well meaning editor.-- Vidkun 13:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
As far as I can determine, a Proclamation has been issued every year Here are the proclamation numbers for the "no proclamation" years cited by the article:
1959 proclamation 3282 1960 proclamation 3343 1966 proclamation 3716 1967 proclamation 3745 1968 proclamation 3845 1969 proclamation 3904 1970 proclamation 3975 1971 proclamation 4036 1972 proclamation 4118 1973 proclamation 4201 1974 proclamation 4277
I do not know why the "Presidency Project" footnote 7 in the article is missing these I found all the proclamations mainly in subirectories of www.gpo.gov, but there is no single search I have found that contains all the info, so I have not corrected the article text. 98.14.207.223 ( talk) 18:55, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
South Dakota participated in Loyalty Day celebrations in 1917. Earlier than the article state about the first celebration being in the 1920s. https://www.newspapers.com/search/?query=%22Loyalty%20Day%22&p_province=us-sd&p_county=lawrence&sort=paper-date-asc 24.230.78.122 ( talk) 22:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
