George W. Bush: “They have an elected government in a sovereign country.”

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

We are very pleased that Alan Lowe has been selected by the National Archives and Records Administration as the director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
