# Proclamation 8072

Delivered on 18 October 2006.
50th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution
On the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution, we celebrate the Hungarians who defied an empire to demand their liberty; we recognize the friendship between the United States and Hungary; and we reaffirm our shared desire to spread freedom to people around the world.
The story of Hungarian democracy represents the triumph of liberty over tyranny. In the fall of 1956, the Hungarian people demanded change, and tens of thousands of students, workers, and other citizens bravely marched through the streets to call for freedom. Though Soviet tanks brutally crushed the Hungarian uprising, the thirst for freedom lived on, and in 1989 Hungary became the first communist nation in Europe to make the transition to democracy. The lesson of the Hungarian experience is clear: liberty can be delayed, but it cannot be denied. Today, this beautiful country has held democratic elections, established a free economy, and inspired millions around the world.
The United States is grateful for the warm relationship between our countries and for Hungary's efforts to expand freedom and democracy around the world in places such as the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba. By spreading the blessings of liberty, Hungary is helping to lay the foundation of peace for generations to come.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we also recognize the many ways Hungarian Americans have enriched and strengthened our country. Their spirit and hard work have contributed to the vitality, success, and prosperity of our Nation, and we continue to be inspired by their courage and conviction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 23, 2006, as a day of recognition in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution. I encourage all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
GEORGE W. BUSH

# Proclamation 8070

Delivered on 13 October 2006.
National Character Counts Week
America's strength is found in the spirit and character of our people. During National Character Counts Week, we renew our commitment to instilling values in our young people and to encouraging all Americans to remember the importance of good character.
As the primary teachers and examples of character, parents help create a more compassionate and decent society. And as individuals, we all have an obligation to help our children become responsible citizens and realize their full potential. By demonstrating values such as integrity, courage, honesty, and patriotism, all Americans can help our children develop strength and character.
Countless individuals throughout our country demonstrate character by volunteering their time and energy to help neighbors in need. The men and women of our Armed Forces set an example of character by bravely putting the security of our Nation before their own lives. We also see character in the family members, teachers, coaches, and other dedicated individuals whose hearts are invested in the future of our children.
Our changing world requires virtues that sustain our democracy, make self-government possible, and help build a more hopeful future. National Character Counts Week is an opportunity to recognize the depth of America's character and appreciate those who pass on our values to future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2006, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

Was made a lieutenant in 1800; and presented with the Turkish gold medal, for his services during the Egyptian campaign, in 1801. We next find him accompanying Sir James Lucas Yeo to the Canadian Lakes, where he served as first of the Wolfe 23, bearing that officer’s broad pendant, from May, 1813, until his promotion to the rank of commander, Dec. 29th in the same year. On the 8th June, he commanded some gun-boats at the capture of an American post near the head of Lake Ontario, from which the enemy was driven, with the loss of all his camp equipage, provisions, stores, &c. On the 13th and 19th of the same month, he assisted at the capture of two dépôts of provisions, and several small vessels, laden with supplies for the invading army. ​In Aug. and Sept. following, he was thrice engaged with the squadron under Commodore Chauncey. On the 6th May, 1814, he commanded the Star brig, and “behaved much to Sir James Yeo’s satisfaction,” at the attack and capture of Oswego.

Proclamation 8329: Wright Brothers Day, 2008
December 16, 2008
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our history is rich with pioneers and innovators who used their God-given talents to improve our Nation and the world. On Wright Brothers Day, we commemorate two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, who took great risks and ushered in a new era of travel and discovery.
With intrepid spirits and a passion for innovation, Orville and Wilbur Wright became the first to experience the thrill of manned, powered flight. On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright flew for 12 seconds over the North Carolina sand dunes in the presence of only five people. In the span of one lifetime, our Nation has seen aviation progress from the first tentative takeoff at Kitty Hawk to an age of supersonic flight and space exploration.
On this Wright Brothers Day, we recognize all those who have taken great risks and contributed to our country's legacy of exploration and discovery. This year, we also celebrate the centennial of the world's first passenger flight. By remaining dedicated to extending the frontiers of knowledge, we can ensure that the United States will continue to lead the world in science, innovation, and technology, and build a better future for generations to come.
The Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 143), has designated December 17 of each year as “Wright Brothers Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 17, 2008, as Wright Brothers Day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

Proclamation 8333: National Mentoring Month, 2009
December 30, 2008
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
During National Mentoring Month, we recognize the millions of individuals who dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives of others, and we underscore our commitment to supporting these soldiers in America's armies of compassion.
Every day across our great Nation, men and women of many different backgrounds work to inspire our next generation of leaders. By sharing their time and experiences, mentors help instill important values that encourage America's youth to set high goals and achieve their dreams. Mentors demonstrate that the strength of our Nation lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens and that a positive influence in someone's life helps them secure a more hopeful future.
My Administration has been committed to building a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility. Through the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program, volunteers help provide consistent guidance and support so that these children can lead lives of opportunity and achievement. The USA Freedom Corps is strengthening mentoring opportunities in America and spreading a message of hope across our Nation. The Helping America's Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura Bush, motivates caring adults to connect with youth to help them to grow up to be responsible and successful adults. By working together, we can enrich the lives of our next generation and continue a legacy of kindness and encouragement.
I appreciate our Nation's mentors and all those who contribute to their community by helping to change a child's life. For more information on volunteering to be a mentor, visit volunteer.gov. During National Mentoring Month, we honor the many Americans who have touched the lives of others with their compassion, and we reflect on their efforts toward building a stronger and brighter future for all.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2009 as National Mentoring Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the importance of mentoring, to look for opportunities to serve as mentors in their communities, and to observe this month with appropriate activities and programs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

Administration of George W. Bush , 2009
Proclamation 8338: Religious Freedom Day, 2009
January 13, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Religious freedom is the foundation of a healthy and hopeful society. On Religious Freedom Day, we recognize the importance of the 1786 passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. We also celebrate the first liberties enshrined in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which guarantee the free exercise of religion for all Americans and prohibit an establishment of religion. Our Nation was founded by people seeking haven from religious persecution, and the religious liberty they found here remains one of this land’s greatest blessings. As Americans, we believe that all people have inherent dignity and worth. Though we may profess different creeds and worship in different manners and places, we respect each other’s humanity and expression of faith. People with diverse views can practice their faiths here while living together in peace and harmony, carrying on our Nation’s noble tradition of religious freedom.
The United States also stands with religious dissidents and believers from around the globe who practice their faith peacefully. Freedom is not a grant of government or a right for Americans alone; it is the birthright of every man, woman, and child throughout the world. No human freedom is more fundamental than the right to worship in accordance with one’s conscience.
Religious Freedom Day is an opportunity to celebrate our legacy of religious liberty, foster a culture of tolerance and peace, and renew commitments to ensure that every person on Earth can enjoy these basic human rights.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 16, 2009, as Religious Freedom Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the great blessing of religious liberty, endeavor to preserve this freedom for future generations, and commemorate this day with appropriate events and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 23 - Dupuis

Layout 2
​Dupuis. — In Mr. Wagner’s Pedigree of the Refugee family of Dupuis, I observe a very considerable number of clergymen. Abraham Dupuis, of London, merchant, who died in 1777 (see chapter xxiv.), had a clerical son, Rev. George Dupuis, born in 1757, educated at Eton, and at Merton College, Oxford, and Rector of Wendlebury in Oxfordshire from 1789 to 1839. He was the father of General Sir J. E. Dupuis, but his eldest son was Rev. George John Dupuis, educated at Eton and at King’s College, Cambridge, B.A. 18 19, M.A. 1822, Fellow of his College, Rector successively of Hemingby, Creeting, and Worplesdon from 1831 to his death in 1878; he began his career as a master at Eton. One of the sons of the latter clergyman is the Rev. George Richard Dupuis, born in 1835, who repeated his father’s career at Eton and Cambridge, B.A. 1858, M.A. 1861, was for two years Vicar of Sturminster-Marshall, and has been Rector of Sessay since 1877. Another son of Rev. G.J. Dupuis is Rev. Edward John Gore Dupuis, educated at Exeter College, Oxford, B.A. 1867 M.A. 1869, Curate of Eton from 1870 to 1875, and now Rector of Alphington and Rural Dean.
We come now to the descendants of Thomas Sanders Dupuis, Doctor of Music (see chapter xxv.), whose wife’s maiden name was Martha Skelton, and who died on 17th July 1796, six months after the death, without descendants, of his eldest son, Rev. Thomas Skelton Dupuis, of Gray’s, Essex. Dr. Dupuis, however, was survived by his youngest son, Charles, who was the father of Rev. Charles Sanders Skelton Dupuis. This reverend gentleman was born in 1797, educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, of which he became a Fellow, B.A. 1818, M.A. 1821, and was Rector of Binton, near Stratford-on-Avon, from 1836 to 1874; he married Emma, daughter of Rev. Charles Crane, D.D., Vicar of Paddington; and is represented by two clerical sons, namely, (1) Rev. Theodore Crane Dupuis, educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, B.A. 1854, M.A. 1856, now Vicar of Burnham, and one of the Prebendaries of Wells. (2) Rev. Charles Seymour Dupuis, educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, B.A. 1872, M.A. 1874. (Besides these two sons, the venerable rector left a daughter, Eliza, widow of Willoughby John Trevelyan, Esq., grandson of the second son of the fourth baronet of Nettlecombe, and her son, Walter John, is heir-presumptive to the old Trevelyan baronetcy.)
