George W. Bush: “You make us all proud to be Americans, and you have made me proud to be your Commander in Chief.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.

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.

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