                Proclamation 7781 of May 7, 2004

                
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, 2004

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, we honor 
                the accomplishments of Asian/Pacific Americans and the 
                many ways they have enriched our society and shaped the 
                character of our Nation through their diverse 
                languages, cultures, and religious beliefs.

                Today, Asian/Pacific Americans are leaders in public 
                service, business, government, science, law, education, 
                athletics, the arts, and many other areas. Their love 
                of family, community, and hard work has helped to 
                uphold our Nation for many generations. Asian/Pacific 
                American entrepreneurs are helping to strengthen our 
                economy and our communities through their hard work and 
                ingenuity, and they inspire a new generation of 
                American innovation through their example.

                Throughout our history, Asian/Pacific Americans have 
                been patriots, answering the call to defend our Nation 
                and to protect the blessings of liberty and democracy. 
                Today, in the war on terror, Asian/Pacific Americans 
                serve proudly as they carry on our Nation's noble 
                tradition of advancing the cause of freedom around the 
                world. We are grateful for the sacrifice of our men and 
                women in uniform and those who love and support them as 
                we fight to protect our homeland and make the world 
                safe for democracy.

                Today, the more than 13 million Americans of Asian or 
                Pacific Island heritage contribute to the vitality, 
                success, and prosperity of our Nation. To honor the 
                achievements and contributions of Asian/Pacific 
                Americans, the Congress by Public Law 102-450 as 
                amended, has designated the month of May each year as 
                ``Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.''

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 2004 
                as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. I call upon 
                the people of the United States to reflect upon the 
                history of Asian/Pacific Americans and their many 
                contributions to our Nation.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
