George W. Bush: “His experience and dedication will serve him well as Ambassador to Uruguay.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
