George W. Bush: “Every life is valuable.”

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

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.

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

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