George W. Bush: “I appreciate very much your presence here.”

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.

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

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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