George W. Bush: “Our Nation's transportation infrastructure is vital to our prosperity and competitiveness.”

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.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
