Sign the Thank You Letter

Dear President Bush,

         It is with the deepest  admiration and highest respect that we, the people, express our gratitude.  For your service over the many years and especially these last eight as our president and as leader of the free world.

          Leaders seldom swim with the stream and are almost always critiqued much harsher than anyone else. The truly great ones however are those who stand firm on their principles and never waiver from the solemn commitments they are entrusted with. You sir are among those great leaders. While  many others of position and power caved as the storm clouds grew on the horizon, you Mr. President stood tall and faced the winds of doubt and uncertainty with your undying belief in the good this world still has to offer.  Often times it must have seemed that you were all alone. That no one person stood with you. Even if that were true you never once flinched in serving those who were now nowhere to be found. With unthankfulness as reward you strove each day to ensure our protection, prosperity and hope for the future. Undaunted and steadfast, your legacy will include the reverance of so many Americans who have come to realize the magnitude of your service.

         We say  thank you  Mr. President. Perhaps not in a way befitting to the level you deserve but maybe in a way that only a nation can. When our children and our grand children ask us about those periolous times and how we made it through. We can simply smile and say, “Thank W”.

    Dear Mr. President,

    Thank you for all you did for our great country! I am very troubled in how obama has taken our country backwards and how those cowards are regaining courage to attack us again. As a Former Active Duty Marine I would have been so Honored to snap to the Position of Attention and render you a Salute !!!!!! May God continue to Bless you and your family for what you have done for us and being a man of courage and conviction.

    Sincerely,

    Gregory Kessler

    Dear Mr. President Bush,
    Thank you for keeping our country safe. I miss you as our President, as I feel that we do not have a leader right now. Without you as our leader, the USA looks weak and scattered. There already has been attacks on our country after a whole year of you not being our leader.
    You were a great President, and I am happy to say you were the first Presidential Candidate that I voted for when I was old enough to vote, and I will be proud to say that as long as I live.
    God Bless You,
    Sincerely,

    Dear Mr. President,
    My family and I would like to give you a most heartfelt thanks for the service you have rendered to our nation. I never doubted you for a moment when so many others did. When you were in office I felt that our nation was safe from terror, I felt that my children would have the same opportunities as everyone else if they worked hard. Now with Obama I feel as though some sort of end is near all the time,the end of our freedoms, our rights, and the end of feeling safe from those cowards that took so many honorable lives that awful September day. Please know that you are greatly missed and our prayers are with you and your wonderful family. May you have all the blessings you well deserve.

    Respectfully,

    Mr.& Mrs. Richard K. Buckland and Family

    Dear President Bush,
    This is the signature on my personal email:

    So said our President George W Bush:
    “Let’s keep these things in mind: that all life is precious; that a society is strong when it worries about the most vulnerable among us, whether it be those who are elderly, those who are sick, or those who are yet unborn.”

    During 8 years I was grateful that you stood firm in your moral convictions and I am still grateful today. I was one of the citizens who prayed for you and your family. And I continue to say:
    God bless you!

    Dear President Bush. I loved you and supported you, and thanked God that you were our President.
    When the left and the media reviled you, I wished that you would defend yourself, but now I know that you were too busy defending us! Laura is also such a classy lady and we love her; we also know that she helped you put up with all that you had to bear from the left. History will be kind to you. God bless you. Joan Clark

    Dear President Bush, When I shook you hand at a campaign rally in Naperville Ilinois on Labor Day, 2000, someone behind me shouted “Make us proud again, George!”. And you did! I supported you all through the eight years of your service to our country. And how I miss you now. My best to you and Laura….

    Kyda Sylvester Says:

    Dear President Bush:

    I have so many vivid memories of your presidency, especially in the days following 9-11…

    At the National Cathedral memorial service, you sat down after speaking so eloquently and your father reached over and give your arm a brief squeeze. It was a lovely moment and, seeing you both there among the other presidents, I felt the warmth and security of family and country and continuity and I knew we would prevail.

    At the memorial service at the Pentagon, the band and chorus were performing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and, in the back rows, people began to stand and wave their flags. Soon everyone was on their feet and the audience was a sea of flags. On stage, Secretary Rumsfeld and Gen. Myers unsuccessfully fought back tears and I smiled through my own to see their wives trying surreptitiously to pass them tissues. I could tell you wanted to cry, too, but you cowboyed up and stood resolute. I could tell by your face the great responsibility you felt towards the people before you, all of us out here and, in particular, to the men and women you soon would be sending into harm’s way and I knew you would not tire, you would not falter and you would not fail.

    On a pile of rubble at Ground Zero giving our enemies fair warning.

    On the mound at Yankee Stadium (my personal favorite) standing tall and proud and unafraid before 50,000 cheering New Yorkers, telling the world, “See what Americans do after we’ve suffered a devastating attack? We play the World Series in the very same city that bore its brunt. You can’t defeat us. Don’t even try.” (heck of a pitch, by the way–from the rubber yet–we could have used you in that series)

    But perhaps I will remember you best among our troops. They were very proud of their Commander-in-Chief and proud to serve under you. And that was very important to me.

    Thank you for everything you did for us and our country. And thank you on behalf of the 50 million people that our military under your command freed from the yoke of tyranny and the millions more around the world to whom that action gave hope. Free people don’t like war and don’t want war. Your actions made the world a safer place. It matters little if other nations like us, but we better make sure they respect us and that the bad actors fear us. In recorded history, our nation (and don’t get me wrong, we’ve had plenty of help) has been responsible for liberating more people from oppression that the rest of the world’s countries combined. It is among our greatest achievements and you should be proud to have played such a large part.

    God bless and keep you and Laura, your daughters, your wonderful parents and your entire family. We owe you a debt we can’t pay, but, then, you were never looking for reward (good thing, huh). History will be kind, Mr. President; it will be more than kind, it will be laudatory. God bless America.

    Dear President Bush,
    I felt safe with you.
    Thank you for your service to our country, and for your grace under pressure, and for your honor and sense of duty. Thank you for your respect for our military. Thank you for your commitment to the protection of the vulnerable, particularly the unborn.
    You and Mrs. Bush are sorely missed.

    Alexandra Greeley Says:

    Dear President Bush: As a long-time admirer and supporter of yours, I deplore the verbal and mental abuse you underwent. You remained statesman-like always, and in times of great danger to our country, you behaved with courage and dignity. Also as a Catholic, I applaud your protection of the unborn and restrictions on stem cell research. Today our country could surely benefit by having a President with your sense of honor and commitment to protecting all Americans. Thank you for your service to our country.

    Blessings to you always,

    Dear President Bush,

    I want to add my deepest thanks to you for keeping is safe, and leading us with such grace and courage. You stood your ground and never waivered in the face of unimaginable horor.

    Your love of our great nation was obvious, as was the respect you had for the position you held.

    My family and I miss you and Mrs. Bush tremendously, but are glad you are enjoying some peace and quiet!

    Thanks again for all you did….and please pass along my very best to your parents, and your sweet girls.

    God bless and keep you always!

    Dear President Bush:
    Tnank you for all you did, and continue to do, for our country. You and Laura have all my respect and love. I teach my daughter that you and Mr. Reagan were presidents in the mold of our first and greatest leaders, especially George Washington. We will alsways pray for you!

    Will Says:

    Integrity is one of the most important qualities in a successful life. President Bush has it! When President Bush made a promise, you could go to the bank with it… no waffle, no political correctness.

    Shawn Eldredge Says:

    Thank you for your devotion to the betterment of our country. I sent you a letter shortly after the cowards attacked us on 9/11 offering support and prayers because I felt that tough times were ahead. But I had no idea how the liberal press would turn on you. Now that you are gone and the person who took your place is doing his best to destroy the country. We miss you more and I hope you and Mrs Bush do well in your private life.

  24. 2124
    Kim Says:

    Thank you for all you did for this country. I did not always agree with everything you supported but I always knew t hat you were doing what you thought was best for this country and it’s people and not following the latest opinion polls. I respect the dignity you showed in the face of such adversity from the left and the media. But please know that mostof the American people did not agree with them and we are sorry that you are gone. And Mrs Bush is the example I hold up to my daughter as to what a First Lady should be like. You and family are now, as you have been in our prayers. Thank you again for your service to this country and for standing up for the values that most of America shares with you.

    Tracy Gay Clardy Says:

    Dear Mr. President,
    I want to personally thank you for your service to our great country! You served with dignity and grace and with honor and respect for the office of the Presidency! Thank you for that! Also, to serve with the courage of your convictions for what you believed to be for the good of all people! Thank you for standing up for all who are oppressed and persecuted in this world! That FREEDOM should reign in all of the world! It is a God-given gift and not to be taken for granted! God Bless you and your family for you have served us well! History will remember you as one of our greatest leaders in very difficult times! It is my honor to thank you and I’m proud to be an American and would never apologize for this great nation ever! God bless America and may He save us from these terrible times under such an administration as this!

    My husband, wants to thank President Bush for two good watches. I want to thank him for standing strong through outright persecution. It was a privilege to pray for him and his wife, knowing that he was placed there by the Ruler of nations. Sometimes it was heartbreaking listening to those who would call evil good and call good evil. Finally, after all that, the gracious transference was proof of a statesmen and a gentleman. Thank you President Bush!

    Saima Leon Says:

    Thank you President Bush for being a man of Principle and Integrity. Thank you for staying the course despite unprecedented hostility and incivility against you. The unified campaign of hatred against you was unbelievable and yet you never wavered. One day Americans will look back and see the years of your Presidency as America’s greatest. May God preserve the Constitution from the jackals and the cabals who are now actively working to destroy it. Thank you for giving your all!!

    Dear President Bush,

    My family and I want you to know how much we miss you and wish you were still in office to rescue our country right now. How we long for your leadership! We are praying for you, as we did through all the years that you nobly served as our President.
    You are a wise, capable, faithful and wonderful man.
    Thank you for all you’ve done for us. You are an inspiration even now.
    May God richly bless you and your entire family.

    Chad Baxley Says:

    I live in Illinois, so I’m already familiar with failed liberal policies, corrupt Chicago politicians, and ineffective government (do we know anyone on the national scene that came from the State of Illinois, is a liberal, and cut his teeth in Chicago politics?). With that said, here’s why I miss George W. Bush.

    In January of 2008 I left a good paying job with great benefits in order to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. Just over 2 years later I have been laid off from my teaching position, have grim hopes of finding a vacant teaching position, and am now being told by the State of Illinois that they want to raise my taxes in order to – get this – increase funding to education so we can avoid laying off more teachers.

    Only 1 thing has changed since January 2008, and that’s the man sitting in the Oval Office. I miss you, George W. Bush.

    Sincerely,

    Chad Baxley

    Boy, do I miss your “no nonsense” way of governing…………..sure you made some mistakes. We
    all make mistakes. But you were/are genuine. So is Laura. Sigh……….things
    change but I really believe that we are in for some turmoil this United States has never known
    because of this new administration. Damned sad to see SO MANY liars in politics.

    Maddie Dunn Says:

    Dear President Bush,
    I miss you.
    You are still my President and always will be. In your eight years in office you brought class and integrity to the White House. I’m crying now because we all took you for granted when you were President. I never imagined that things could get this bad, and they are. You are honest and admirable and that is something that will be written down in history.
    You received waves of hatred from the media, and not ONCE did you lash back. That, Sir, is a true leader and what makes you a hero in my eyes.
    I can not express how grateful I am for you and Mrs. Bush’s service. I pray for you. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
    Sincerely,
    Maddie Dunn

    Joel Inman Says:

    Mr. President,
    This is simply to express my gratitude for your service to our nation.

    The 9-11 attacks are, I believe, the worst and most criminal acts in our nation’s history.

    The Pearl Harbor attacks, to which the 9-11 attacks have been compared, were attacks on a legitimate military target. But the 9-11 attacks were a naked, blatant evil.

    You showed sound judgment with your Supreme Court nominations, and with your nomination of John Bolton as the U.N. Ambassador.

    I believe you are a good and decent man, and I remember the words of then-Senator George Allan (Allen?): “The American people would rather eat a hot dog at a picnic with George Bush than sip wine and eat cheese with the Clintons”. That sums it up nicely.

    I appreciate your hard work and untiring effort to keep the nation safe. You succeeded. Your number one job as Commander-in-Chief was well done.

    My best to you and your lovely and gracious First lady. I would one day be honored to shake your hand.

    Godspeed, Mr. President

    Colleen Benedict Says:

    PLEASE COME BACK!

    Oh and thank you President Bush. I will not and can not call the man in the White House now president and never will.

    There was such a great darkness on the day of the inauguration. So many had the feeling that something bad was about to happen…and it did.
    I am sure you were relieved to be leaving but MILLIONS…YES MILLIONS, felt very badly that we were losing you.

    I will never forgive the left MSM for what they said and what they did, but their ratings now is their punishment. Cruel and Bias.

    You were great, we felt you cared and we miss you! I even flew down to watch you turn on the Christmas lights for the last time you were in the White House for Christmas.
    You will go down as one of the best presidents, there is no doubt in my mind.
    God Bless you and god Bless America!

    Mr. President,

    Thank you for all you have done for our country. I believe you were an exceptional president who carried such characteristics as strength, wisdom, courage, and dignity. I believe you truly cared about this country in and the people in it. Instead of making false promises about giving people everything they’ve wanted you worked to give people the tools and freedom to pursue their own happiness.

    Thank you for all you have done. God bless you and your family.

    Dear Mr. President:

    It was during your first campaign that I was of age to cast my first presidential vote. At 18, your vote was a no-brainer. And during your second campaign the decision to cast my vote for you couldn’t have been simpler. I truly thank you for all the good you have done for this great nation of ours. Thank you for standing your ground and staying true to your beliefs. You are an excellent role model and a hero to so many of us. God Bless you and your family.

    Dear President Bush,

    I want to personally thank you for your service to our nation. During your eight years as President, there were many U.S. citizens who were touched by your heart of kindness and concern. While the entire nation will remember how you skillfully led us through the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, I remember the day that you came to Lafayette, TN, in February, 2008. You met with the citizens of that tornado-ravaged community, and your presence brought solace and comfort to everyone you met.

    Our organization, Hope Force International, was working there alongside our partners in The Salvation Army. You stopped and encouraged and thanked each team member who had been working tirelessly — and without a doubt, it will be one of our most cherished life-time memories. Thank you for being the kind of leader that not only made us feel more secure, but also made hard decisions based on what was best for our nation — not on what would bring you popularity.

    You are sorely missed, and I pray that you will know how truly loved and appreciated you are!

    Dear President Bush,

    I would like to THANK YOU for your service to our GREAT country !!! You are greatly missed. I supported you through it ALL…. I can’t explain in a paragraph, just how much I appreciated your strength and courage while you were President. I have 4 pictures of you on my computer desk so that I can thank you every single day for being ‘MY’ President. One is of a sign where you are waving and asking “Miss Me Yet?” and it brings tears to my eyes, because, YES !!!!, since the day you left office, I have sincerely MISSED YOU !!!! I have been VERY sad, since that day…. SAD for our GREAT country…..
    I Love you and Laura very much. I hope very much that you are enjoying your retirement. Lord knows that you ‘earned’ that retirement !!!!

    Dear President Bush,

    Thank you for your faithful service to the United States of American and her citizens. I didn’t always agree with some of the decisions that you made but I never doubted or questioned your love of America or your commitment to protecting us.

    I never had to struggle with day to day economic survival during your presidency which started immediately after Obama was sworn in and hasn’t let up. You were committed to keeping America strong and I now realize just how much the Left leaning media went out of its way to discredit and destroy your Presidency.

    Blessing to you and your wife Laura and the rest of your family.

    Thank you again Sir. I wish you were still President right now. We wouldn’t be in this disaster if you were.

    As a World Trade Center survivor I will always believe that you, President Bush, did the right thing with going into the Middle East. I respect the strength of your convictions as most would have folded under the pressure of the media and public opinion. I believe that history will show that you were in fact an excellent leader and one that cared for the people of this great nation.

    Hope to meet you one day and tell you this in person.
