PROCLAMATION 7888--APR. 19, 2005
Proclamation 7888 of April 19, 2005
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2005
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
As we enjoy the great freedoms of our country, we are mindful of our
obligation to pass on to our children the values that sustain our
liberty and our democracy. On Education and Sharing Day, we reaffirm our
commitment to teach young people the lessons they need to preserve and
strengthen our Nation, and to reach as far as their vision and character
can take them.
Education and Sharing Day honors the memory of Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who established education and
outreach centers that offer social services and humanitarian aid around
the world. Commemorating his life and legacy teaches the next generation
that a single life of conscience and purpose can touch and lift up many
lives. By helping to heal a broken heart, surrounding a friend with
love, feeding the hungry, or providing shelter for the homeless, we can
change America for the better, one heart, one soul, and one conscience
at a time.
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 April 20, 2005, as
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon all our citizens to
dedicate their time and talents to help our rising generation grow into
caring and responsible adults.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of
April, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
ninth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
