George W. Bush: “I commend the good work of the American Red Cross.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

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

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.
