George W. Bush: “I, George W. Bush, do hereby proclaim December 17, 2002, as Wright Brothers Day.”

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

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

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

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