                Proclamation 8141 of May 9, 2007

                
Military Spouse Day, 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                America's military spouses inspire our Nation with 
                their sense of duty and deep devotion to our country. 
                On Military Spouse Day, we honor the husbands and wives 
                of those who wear the uniform of the Armed Forces of 
                the United States.

                The husbands and wives of our service members have made 
                significant sacrifices for freedom's cause, and they 
                are an integral part of the success of our Armed 
                Forces. Spouses may endure long periods of separation 
                and frequent relocations, and they often set aside 
                their own personal and professional ambitions for the 
                benefit of their family and the Nation. Despite 
                tremendous personal challenges, military spouses 
                maintain everyday life for their families here at home, 
                while sending love, prayers, encouraging words, and 
                care packages to their loved ones stationed around the 
                globe.

                On behalf of a grateful Nation, we salute our Nation's 
                military spouses. For ways to support our troops, their 
                spouses, and their families, visit 
                americasupportsyou.mil.

                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 11, 2007, as Military 
                Spouse Day. I call upon the people of the United States 
                to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and 
                activities and by expressing their gratitude to the 
                husbands and wives of those serving in the United 
                States Armed Forces.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                ninth day of May, 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. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
