Is there a typo here? George H.W. Bush was not elected president until 1988.
- Perhaps "Vice" president Bush? Or it was instituted by president Reagan?
- Right. This says that Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1987. I will look for some other sources, to check. Awolf002 22:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
- I removed the HW reference. The first Google hit for "German-American Day" is to a Geocities page that includes a quote from HW at the beginning, and I think some editor read this and got confused. Tempshill 23:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Level of reality
Is this a real holiday? Where exactly is it celebrated? Or is it a sop to a particular ethnic group, living only in the Congressional Record, like "National Don't Trip On The Sidewalk-Crack Day"? Tempshill 23:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like some German Clubs are doing something on that day, for example in 2004. But it sure is not something big all over. Awolf002 23:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
