For generations, German Americans have contributed to our Nation's identity,
culture, and prosperity. On German-American Day, we recognize the many
Americans with German ancestry who helped make our country great, and we celebrate
our strong friendship with Germany.
The people of Germany and the United States share important family and
cultural ties, and millions of American citizens are of German descent. Some of
their forebears were among the first to settle Jamestown, and they and many
others like them helped lay the foundation for our country, which has become the
most prominent symbol of freedom in the world. Many German Americans have
shaped our way of life and added to our country's rich heritage.
In celebrating German-American Day, we honor generations of German Americans
who came to our shores with dreams of opportunity and contributed to the
greatness of our country.
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 October 6, 2008, as German-American Day. I
encourage all Americans to celebrate the many contributions German Americans
have made to our Nation's liberty and prosperity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of October, in
the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
GEORGE W. BUSH
