We found this item on the Business Wire newswire last night, and
thought it might be nice to share it with all the mothers we know. We
at AskPatty would like to wish a happy Mothers Day to all our women
readers, to the Moms, Daughters, Wives, Nieces, Grandmothers and
Aunties, whether you are young, old, married, or single; an
experienced driver, a new driver, a race car driver, a hot rod driver,
a classic car driver, a minivan driver, a truck driver, a luxury car
driver, an SUV driver, a disabled driver, a carpool driver, a
stay-at-home Mom, or a female executive; no matter your shape, size, or
color, we hope you will have an excellent day!
And now, a word from our President:
"On
Mother's Day, we honor the grace, wisdom, and strength of our mothers,
and we celebrate the special bonds shared between mothers and their
children.
Mothers work tirelessly to help their children build
healthy and successful lives. Through their positive examples and
countless acts of kindness, mothers teach the values of generosity and
compassion and the importance of family and community. As President
Ronald Reagan said, "From our mothers, we first learn about values and
caring and the difference between right and wrong." By providing a
nurturing environment where their children can grow in confidence and
character, mothers lay the foundation for the next generation of
Americans to realize their full potential.
Our
Nation is grateful for the sacrifices mothers make every day and for
the unconditional love they give their children. We are especially
thankful for the mothers who support their sons and daughters serving
in our Armed Forces and for the mothers who bring honor to the uniform
of the United States by defending our freedom at home and abroad.
Every
child blessed with a mother's love has been given one of life's great
gifts. On this Mother's Day, we recognize the extraordinary
contributions America's mothers make to their children, their families,
and our country.
To honor mothers, the Congress, by a joint
resolution approved May 8, 1914, as amended (38 Stat. 770), has
designated the second Sunday in May each year as "Mother's Day" and has
requested the President to call for its appropriate observance. May God
bless mothers across America on this special day and throughout the
year.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United
States of America, do hereby proclaim May 11, 2008, as Mother's Day. I
encourage all Americans to show their gratitude and love to mothers for
making a difference in the lives of their children, families, and
communities. I call upon citizens to observe this day with appropriate
programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand this eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord
two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the two hundred and thirty-second."
GEORGE W. BUSH
