George W. Bush: “We gather in tribute to two young men who died long ago in the service to America.”

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.

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