Proclamation 8075 of October 30, 2006
National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, 2006
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
During National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, we renew our
resolve in the fight against this devastating disease, and we take time
to remember the loved ones taken from us by Alzheimer's. We also
recognize the patients and family members who are affected by it, and we
extend our gratitude to the caretakers and researchers who are pursuing
better treatments and a cure.
Age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, so the need for
prevention, improved treatments, and a cure becomes increasingly urgent
as more Americans grow older. My Administration is pursuing the
tremendous possibilities that science offers to improve the lives of the
millions suffering from this disease. We continue to support Alzheimer's
disease research through the National Institutes of Health and the
Department of Veterans Affairs. New progress is being made as more is
learned about this disease.
America is blessed by our seniors, and they have earned our greatest
respect. Citizens living with Alzheimer's disease deserve the best
possible care. National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month is an
opportunity for Americans to offer our support to Alzheimer's patients
and those who sacrifice to help them live with dignity and comfort. The
strength and compassion of these individuals reflect the good heart of
the American people.
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 November 2006 as National
Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. I call upon the people of the
United States to observe this month with appropriate programs and
activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of
October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
first.
GEORGE W. BUSH
