Celebrate National Day of The
American Cowboy July 26th
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords July 14, 2008:
Our
legendary Cowboy and Cowgirl are embraced and respected by people
the world over as a symbol of rugged individualism. Each represents
a commitment to explore, work hard and seek adventure while
demonstrating the personal determination to survive. He/she is
loyal to an honorable code of ethics as well as persistent and
tenacious in the face of any challenge.
In honor of
Cowboys and Cowgirls worldwide, I encourage Americans to observe the
National Day of the Cowboy on Saturday, July 26, 2008 with
appropriate ceremonies and activities. Thank you.
