A Proclamation
Americans live in freedom because of our veterans' courage, dedication to duty, and love of country. On Veterans Day, we honor these brave men and women who have served in our Armed Forces and defended our Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2004, as Veterans Day and urge all Americans to observe November 7 through November 13, 2004, as National Veterans Awareness Week. I urge all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through ceremonies and prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to encourage and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with commemorative expressions and programs.
What's this with the proclamation? Does the president have to proclaim November 11 Veterans Day every year? Wasn't once enough?
His Slowliness the Dope is asking us to offer ceremonies and prayers and patriotic activities for the veterans. Here's what the Warp Resident himself has offered them....

...but hey, you do what you want, Mr. Sorry S.O.B....you will anyway.
