George W. Bush: “The United States is now better prepared to respond to an outbreak of pandemic influenza.”

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.

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

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
