George W. Bush: “Prayers can help, and so can the Government.”

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.

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

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