George W. Bush: “Saving lives is a calling that crosses partisan lines.”

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

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.

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