George W. Bush: “The year now ending saw a few acts of terrible evil. It also saw many more acts of courage and kindness and love.”

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

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

That is the America I know.
