                Proclamation 7739 of November 21, 2003

                
National Family Week, 2003

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As Americans gather during Thanksgiving week, we honor 
                our families, and we recognize the family as a source 
                of help, hope, and stability for our citizens and for 
                our country.

                Strong families make our Nation better. They teach our 
                children values and help them become responsible 
                citizens. We must encourage families to be loving and 
                compassionate, generous and supportive, and to serve 
                and help others.

                On this Thanksgiving week, we also pay respect to our 
                brave military families whose loved ones are on active 
                duty, many on the front lines of freedom in Iraq and 
                Afghanistan. These families provide a bond of love and 
                encouragement to our men and women in uniform as they 
                defend liberty and protect our Nation.

                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 November 23 through November 
                29, 2003, as National Family Week. I invite the States, 
                communities, and all the people of the United States to 
                join together in observing this week with appropriate 
                ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation's 
                families.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-first day of November, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand three, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
                eighth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
