George W. Bush: “We will prevail in this central front on terrorism.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

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.

Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.
