President Commemorates Eid al-Adha
I am pleased to send warm greetings to Muslims across the United States
as you celebrate the Eid al-Adha holiday.
As you join in spirit with those gathered in Mecca to observe the
traditions of one of your most sacred feasts, may you share joyful and
reverent fellowship with family and friends.
During this special time, our Nation is reminded of the remarkable
contributions of American Muslims to our history, culture, and way of
life. Our spiritual foundation and common heritage will
continue to guide us as we strive to strengthen our country and advance
peace and goodness in our world.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a joyous observance.
GEORGE W. BUSH
