Title 3--
The President

Proclamation 7888 of April 19, 2005

Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2005

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

As we enjoy the great freedoms of our country, we are
mindful of our obligation to pass on to our children
the values that sustain our liberty and our democracy.
On Education and Sharing Day, we reaffirm our
commitment to teach young people the lessons they need
to preserve and strengthen our Nation, and to reach as
far as their vision and character can take them.

Education and Sharing Day honors the memory of Rabbi
Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who
established education and outreach centers that offer
social services and humanitarian aid around the world.
Commemorating his life and legacy teaches the next
generation that a single life of conscience and purpose
can touch and lift up many lives. By helping to heal a
broken heart, surrounding a friend with love, feeding
the hungry, or providing shelter for the homeless, we
can change America for the better, one heart, one soul,
and one conscience at a time.

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 20, 2005, as Education
and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon all our citizens to
dedicate their time and talents to help our rising
generation grow into caring and responsible adults.

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

(Presidential Sig.)B
