Happy Leif Erickson Day!

Who said ole Dubya doesn't promote good relations with our world neighbors?

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2002, as Leif Erikson Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs to honor our rich Nordic-American heritage.

So, fire up that grill for some yummy lutefisk, and nice frosty mug of akvavit!

And, in the words of the great god Óðinn: Skal!!
