George W. Bush: “The United States honors Paul Johnson for his landmark contributions to sharing the lessons of the past so that they may…”

That is the America I know.

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.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
