Default Problems CONCATENATE expression

I would like to CONCATENATE the phrases "expire on " with date from
Sheet2!D32 and the phrase "your last Manufacturer's preventive maintanence
with revalidation on" with Sheet2!D33 all in Sheet1!A19.

I like to see on Sheet1!A19 the following: Expire on April 19, 2009 and
your last Manufacturer's preventive maintanence with revalidation was on
March 1, 2008.

Problem is I'm currently getting the following on Sheet1!A19 : Expire on
39922 and your last Rees Scientific preventive maintanence with revalidation
on 39508

Sheet2
D32 = 4/19/09
D33 = 3/1/09
Both D32 and D33 are formated as Dates. Example April 19, 2009.

CONCATENATE("expire on ",Sheet2!D32," and your last Rees Scientific
preventive maintanence with revalidation on ",Sheet2!D33)

Please help..

Scientific preventive maintanence with revalidation on
"&TEXT(Sheet2!D33,"mmmm d, yyyy")
