President George W. Bush Washington,
November 25, 2003 - President George W. Bush joins a long list of presidents

States from Ulysses S. Grant to George W. Bush has extended congratulatory messages

community: "Agriculture
is a cornerstone of American life. Our citizens depend on farmers for food, clothing,
and to be responsible stewards of our land. Since 1867, the National Grange has
played an important role in supporting agricultural production across our country.
By equipping farm owners and operators with the information necessary to succeed
and complete in the global marketplace, your organization helps strengthen our
Nation." George
