GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
September 21, 2007

Armenian Independence Day

I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to all those commemorating
the anniversary of the Independence of Armenia.

It is always a special occasion when a people gather to rejoice in their
heritage, and I am privileged to join with the Armenian-American
community on this day of celebration. You enrich our nation – and
especially our state – through your hard work, spirit of service and
wonderful blend of cultural traditions. Thank you for your contributions to
California’s unique and ever-growing diversity.

In honoring our own ancestries, we not only come to a better understanding
of ourselves, but we also gain a greater appreciation for the breadth of
cultures and customs that make up our Golden State.

On behalf of all Californians, please accept my best wishes for a meaningful
celebration and every future success.

Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Charlotte Mailliard Shultz
