George W. Bush: “I'm optimistic about our future, and one reason is because of America's workers and entrepreneurs.”

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

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

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