George W. Bush: “We're thankful that this Nation they created 228 years ago remains free and independent and the best hope for all…”

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

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.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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