George W. Bush: “I still know there are people out there that hate our freedoms.”

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.

We look forward to working with him and the National Archives to build a world-class Presidential library and museum that will be an important resource for scholars and the general public.

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

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.
