President Bush officially pardoned the Whitehouse Thanksgiving turkeys – May and Flower – on Tuesday. 

The turkeys, whose names were chosen in an online poll, will be flown to Florida where they will appear as the Grand Marshalls in the Disney World Thanksgiving Day parade.

The festivities were held Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2007, in the Rose Garden of the White House.  And May and Flower will live the rest of their natural lives in Disney World.
