George W. Bush: “I'm thankful to our men and women in uniform, and I am incredibly proud to have been their Commander in Chief.”

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.

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

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
