President George W. Bush is surrounded by members of the United States Coast Guard during his speech in Philadelphia Monday, March 31, 2003." Now, as part of the Department of Homeland Security, you have taken on a new and vital mission, a mission as important as any in your 213-year history: the mission of defending our country against terrorist attack," President Bush said.

Gifts

Gifts sent to the White House, especially oversized and crated items, may experience a significant delivery delay due to the security screening process. In addition, we request that gifts of a consumable nature (e.g. food, drink), as well as flowers and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House. While the President and Mrs. Bush and Vice President and Mrs. Cheney appreciate your thoughtfulness, they have asked that you look instead to your local community for opportunities to assist your neighbors in need.
