NATIONAL Tartan Day!!

Mary:
Got this from COSCA - great news!

April 4, 2008
 
President George Bush today signed a document proclaiming April 6, 2008, as National Tartan Day!  This is a huge victory for us Scottish Americans.  We give humble thanks to the members and associates of The Scottish Coalition USA, and many of you, for your ten years of hard work to make this possible.
 
Since the passing of Senate Resolution 155 in 1998 and House Resolution 41 in 2005, The Scottish Coalition and others have been actively asking the American-Scottish community to request the President of the United States to sign a Proclamation proclaiming April 6, in perpetuity, as National Tartan Day.  Today's Presidential Proclamation makes National Tartan a National Holiday Observance on every April 6th, similar to Flag Day, thus placing National Tartan Day on the official United States of America calendar.

Happy National Tartan Day!

April 6th is also the birthday of my son, Collin William Thompson.....

My baby, my best friend, will be 17, and I thank what ever God you may believe in that I'm lucky to be his father.

Sorry for that bit of emotionalism, i may have gotten a bit carried away, by My God, I love that kid.
