President George W. Bush keeps up his father's tradition in this 2008 photo, pardoning "Pumpkin" the turkey during the annual White House event. Afterward, Pumpkin was flown to Disneyland, where the bird served as an honorary grand marshal in the California theme park's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The younger Bush started this tradition in 2005, replacing the previous practice of sending pardoned turkeys to nearby farms in Virginia.
