                Proclamation 8238 of April 15, 2008

                
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2008

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                A hopeful society helps ensure that its citizens 
                develop the character, knowledge, and skills they need 
                to succeed. On Education and Sharing Day, we underscore 
                our dedication to encouraging our Nation's youth to 
                build a solid foundation for a lifetime of 
                accomplishment.

                Education and Sharing Day pays tribute to the unique 
                efforts of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the 
                Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Rebbe helped create numerous 
                education and outreach centers, which continue to 
                provide social service programs and humanitarian aid at 
                home and around the globe.

                On this day and throughout the year, we encourage our 
                children to set high goals, make the right choices, and 
                put character first. By instilling respect, 
                responsibility, civic duty, compassion, and honesty in 
                our youth, we can help more of our citizens realize the 
                great promise of America.

                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 April 16, 2008, as Education 
                and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon government 
                officials, educators, volunteers, and all the people of 
                the United States to reach out to young people and work 
                to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future 
                for all.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                fifteenth day of April, 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. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
