On September 24, President George W. Bush issued a presidential proclamation to celebrate September 25, 2004 as National Hunting & Fishing Day. The proclamation called upon the American people to pay tribute to the "contributions of America's hunters and anglers, and all those who work to conserve our Nation's fish and wildlife resources." National Hunting & Fishing Day marked its 33rd anniversary this year after being created by Congress and President Nixon to recognize hunters and anglers for the time and money they have given to fish and wildlife conservation programs. In the proclamation, President Bush states: "America's hunters and anglers represent the great spirit of our country and are among our Nation's foremost conservationists. These citizens have worked to protect habitat and restore fish and wildlife populations. They volunteer their time, talents, and energy to countless conservation projects, because they recognize the importance of maintaining the natural abundance of our country for future generations."
