                Proclamation 8108 of February 27, 2007

                
American Red Cross Month, 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The American Red Cross demonstrates the power of human 
                compassion and embodies the capacity for kindness and 
                generosity of this great Nation. This month, we honor 
                the men and women of the American Red Cross who exhibit 
                the spirit and character of America by serving others 
                in need.

                Since its founding in 1881, the American Red Cross has 
                helped millions of individuals overcome the effects of 
                natural disasters and emergencies by providing shelter, 
                food, counseling, and other assistance. It plays an 
                important role in our communities by helping maintain 
                our country's blood supply, offering programs for youth 
                and the elderly, supporting members of the military and 
                their families, and promoting health and emergency 
                preparedness. This inspiring organization helps improve 
                the lives of those in need and continues to assist in 
                the recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast.

                The humanitarian mission of the American Red Cross 
                extends around the world. My Administration is proud to 
                work with it to support efforts to combat malaria, 
                measles, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases that affect 
                millions of people each year in Africa and throughout 
                the world. The American Red Cross is committed to 
                helping improve the prevention and treatment of 
                diseases and is working to strengthen community health 
                programs in developing areas of the world. These 
                efforts help save lives and show the strength and 
                generosity of America.

                We are grateful for the tireless work of the volunteers 
                and staff of the American Red Cross. During this month, 
                we pay tribute to this remarkable organization and all 
                those who have answered the call to serve a cause 
                greater than self and offered support and healing in 
                times of need.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the 
                American Red Cross, by virtue of the authority vested 
                in me by the Constitution and laws of the United 
                States, do hereby proclaim March 2007 as American Red 
                Cross Month. I commend the good work of the American 
                Red Cross, and I encourage all Americans to help make 
                our world a better place by volunteering their time, 
                energy, and talents for others.
