JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, 2007
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The faith and hard work of Jewish Americans have played an
integral role in shaping the cultural fabric of America. During
Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the vital contributions
of Jewish Americans to our Nation.
Throughout our history, Jewish Americans have contributed to
the strength of our country and the preservation of our values. The
talent and imagination of these citizens have helped our Nation
prosper, and their efforts continue to remind us of America's gift of
religious freedom and the blessings of God's steadfast love. Jewish
Americans have worked to promote civil rights and build bridges of
mutual understanding among the world's religions. Their deep
commitment to faith and strong ties to family enrich our country and
set a positive example for others.
This month is also a time to recognize the sacrifices of Jewish
Americans who serve our Nation in the Armed Forces. These brave men
and women are dedicated to freedom's cause, and all those who live in
freedom live in their debt.
Jewish American Heritage Month is an opportunity to honor the
accomplishments of Jewish-American citizens and to remember that our
Nation is a melting pot of cultures. I join all Americans in
celebrating the rich Jewish heritage and the many ways they
contribute to a bright future for our country.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim May 2007 as Jewish American Heritage Month. I call upon all
Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and
activities to honor Jewish Americans across the country.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth
day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
GEORGE W. BUSH
