George W. Bush: “We owe you, our service men and women, our best, because we owe you our freedom.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

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.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

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