Veterans Day, 2008

GEORGE W. BUSH proclaims November 11, 2008, as Veterans Day and urges all Americans to observe November 9 through November 15, 2008, as National Veterans Awareness Week.

Bush wrote: "I encourage all Americans to recognize the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans through ceremonies and prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to support and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with commemorative expressions and programs."
