Happy Parents' Day!
"On Parents' Day," President Bush says, "we pay tribute to the hard work and sacrifice of the millions of devoted parents who provide guidance, support, and unconditional love to their children." We do? I've got two kids, and I've never heard of this holiday. Mother's and Father's Days aren't enough? Apparently not. Because Parents' Day is the law. And it's on July 23.
So what's your agency doing about it? Bush is calling upon "citizens, private organizations, and governmental bodies at all levels to engage in activities and educational efforts that recognize, support, and honor parents."
