Spotlight on
Veterans Day
“While I haven't gotten to golf or mountain bike with my Team 43 pals this year, they remain a priority to Laura and me. We're looking forward to seeing our friend and Team 43 warrior, Saul Martinez, on Variety's fourth annual ‘Salute to Service’ on the History Channel. The program will honor service members and organizations, including the Bush Center's Military Service Initiative.
“We can never fully repay our veterans and their families, but we ought to try. We owe them a deep debt of gratitude — today, and every day. Happy Veterans Day, and may God bless those who have served our great country.”
— President George W. Bush
