Proclamations Proc. 7616 in a comforting environment. As the size of our elderly population con- tinues to grow, home care increasingly represents an important, dignified, and compassionate alternative for countless individuals. To support and train families at all stages of caregiving, the Administration on Aging provides community-based assistance through the "National Fam- ily Caregiver Support Program." This network of community service pro- viders, faith-based organizations, tribal organizations, State and local agen- cies on aging, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers informs caregivers that they are not alone, and that help is always available through coun- seling, support groups, training, respite care, and supplemental services. As we work to build a culture of service, responsibility, and compassion, caregivers continue to bring our families and communities together. Through their efforts to assist loved ones in need, family caregivers dem- onstrate the true spirit of our Nation. 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 November 2002 as National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to pause to honor the family members, friends, and neighbors who shoulder caregiving respon- sibilities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand two, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-sev- enth.
