                Proclamation 8136 of April 30, 2007

                
Jewish American Heritage Month, 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The faith and hard work of Jewish Americans have played 
                an integral role in shaping the cultural fabric of 
                America. During Jewish American Heritage Month, we 
                celebrate the vital contributions of Jewish Americans 
                to our Nation.

                Throughout our history, Jewish Americans have 
                contributed to the strength of our country and the 
                preservation of our values. The talent and imagination 
                of these citizens have helped our Nation prosper, and 
                their efforts continue to remind us of America's gift 
                of religious freedom and the blessings of God's 
                steadfast love. Jewish Americans have worked to promote 
                civil rights and build bridges of mutual understanding 
                among the world's religions. Their deep commitment to 
                faith and strong ties to family enrich our country and 
                set a positive example for others.

                This month is also a time to recognize the sacrifices 
                of Jewish Americans who serve our Nation in the Armed 
                Forces. These brave men and women are dedicated to 
                freedom's cause, and all those who live in freedom live 
                in their debt.

                Jewish American Heritage Month is an opportunity to 
                honor the accomplishments of Jewish-American citizens 
                and to remember that our Nation is a melting pot of 
                cultures. I join all Americans in celebrating the rich 
                Jewish heritage and the many ways Jewish Americans 
                contribute to a bright future for 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 May 2007 as Jewish American 
                Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to observe 
                this month with appropriate programs and activities to 
                honor Jewish Americans across the country.
