George W. Bush,
60th Annual National Thanksgiving Turkey presentationThe pardon of May and Flower
(2007)
“ It's hard to be anything but grateful when you live in a country full of compassionate and decent citizens – a land our fathers always knew was blessed by the Almighty God. And so now I have a task, and that is to grant a full presidential pardon to May and Flower. They'll be shortly flown to Disney World, where they will serve as Honorary Grand Marshals for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I hope that honor doesn't go to their head. (Laughter.) May they live the rest of their lives in blissful gobbling. And may all Americans enjoy a holiday full of love and peace. ”
