Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the second Sunday of May as the official holiday that honors mothers as the “greatest source of the country’s strength and inspiration.”
May 9, 2021 marks 106 years that we celebrate the women who play pivotal role in shaping the world as we know it.
In his Mother’s Day message, Governor Lemanu Peleti Mauga writes, “It is difficult to overstate a mother’s influence on our lives as they are the cornerstones of our families. Nations have been built on the shoulders of Mothers whose strength and selflessness knows no measure. They are the unsung heroes who are deserving of so much recognition.”
“Let us recommit ourselves to doing more to revere these extraordinary women throughout the year.”
“On behalf of Lieutenant Governor Talauega and our families, we wish all the Mothers of American Samoa both here and abroad a Blessed Mother’s Day!”
