March 9 is named U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day. The President is asked, not required, to declare this day each year with ceremonies and activities.

(a) Designation. March 9 is officially named U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day. (b) Proclamation. The law only requests the President to issue a proclamation each year. That proclamation would call on the American people to observe U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Because the section only "requests" this, it does not require the President to issue the proclamation.
