President Bush, you have served our country, and I am grateful for that.  You have kept us safe, and strengthened our security.  While I may not have agreed with every single proposal or thing you have done, you were a good President.

Mr. President you have served our country honorably for the last 8 years.  You’ve not always had an easy time, but no President does.  You always seem to be in good spirits, which impresses me.  Mrs. Bush has always been a First Class lady, and her time as First Lady has touched many lives.  Thank you, Mrs. Bush, for your service and your dedication to your country and husband.

It was an honor and privilege to work for you in D.C.  Getting the chance to work with the great group of people that served you was amazing.  Meeting you and Mrs. Bush were some of the highlights of my time, and I carry memories with me that I’ll never forget.  The chance to live history was something I’ll cherish forever.

My office, both at work and at home, are constant reminders of the great times I’ve had serving you and Mrs. Bush.  The pictures and letters are a constant reminder of your good nature, your humor, and your kindness.  To meet you was to truly see who you are, which no television cameras can convey.

As the sun sets on your Presidency I, like you, look forward to the future of our country.  I pray we will remain a “shining city on a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.”  I thank you again for your service, and may God bless you and Mrs. Bush.
