The President
                Proclamation 7914 of July 21, 2005

                
Parents' Day, 2005

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Parents are role models for their children. With 
                patience, sacrifice, and love, they teach their 
                children life lessons and prepare them for the future. 
                On Parents' Day, we express our gratitude for the hard 
                work of parents throughout America and reaffirm our 
                commitment to promoting a culture of responsible 
                parenthood.

                Mothers and fathers love their children unconditionally 
                and make daily sacrifices to provide for them. Parents 
                create a safe, nurturing environment in which their 
                children can grow and learn. By instructing their 
                children to make right choices, parents instill 
                lifelong values and prepare their children for the 
                challenges and opportunities ahead. Parents experience 
                the great joy of watching their sons and daughters 
                mature into responsible adults and good citizens.

                On Parents' Day, we recognize the boundless love and 
                generosity of all parents, including the foster and 
                adoptive parents who demonstrate the compassionate 
                spirit of America. We honor parents for their 
                dedication to providing our Nation's children with the 
                love and support they need.

                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 and consistent with Public Law 103-362, as 
                amended, do hereby proclaim Sunday, July 24, 2005, as 
                Parents' Day. I encourage all Americans to express 
                love, respect, and appreciation to parents across our 
                Nation. I also call upon citizens to observe this day 
                with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand five, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
