President Bush sends greetings

I send greetings to those commemorating the 71st anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine.

This occasion reminds us of the inhumanity and brutality that befell Ukraine in 1932 and 1933. It also illustrates the transformational power of liberty. The lessons learned from the struggle of the Ukrainian people are clear: We must never lose the courage to oppose hatred, aggression and murderous ambitions wherever we find them.

By honoring the memory of the millions who were lost, we preserve their stories for future generations and teach people around the world about the dangers of totalitarianism. Together we can help strengthen the foundations of democracy and build a world where all people can live in freedom and peace.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes. May God bless you.

George W. Bush
