 Proc. 8038 Title 3--The President Proclamation 8038 of July 27, 2006 50th Anniversary of Our National Motto, "In God We Trust," 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation On the 50th anniversary of our national motto, "In God We Trust," we re- flect on these words that guide millions of Americans, recognize the bless- ings of the Creator, and offer our thanks for His great gift of liberty. From its earliest days, the United States has been a Nation of faith. During the War of 1812, as the morning light revealed that the battle-torn Amer- ican flag still flew above Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned, "And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust!' "His poem became our National Anthem, reminding generations of Americans to "Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation." On July 30, 1\36556, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the law officially establishing "In God We Trust" as our national motto. Today, our country stands strong as a beacon of religious freedom. Our citi- zens, whatever their faith or background, worship freely and millions an- swer the universal call to love their neighbor and serve a cause greater than sell As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of our national motto and re- member with thanksgiving God's mercies throughout our history, we recog- nize a divine plan that stands above all human plans and continue to seek His will. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim ]uly 30, 2006, as the 50th Anniversary of our National Motto, "In God We Trust." I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of ]uly, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
