Over the weekend, former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush welcomed a group of veterans to Prairie Chapel Ranch for two days of mountain biking and community to honor Veterans Day.
“Our veterans bravely wore the uniform of the United States in defense of our freedom,” President Bush said. “They answered the call of duty and have been a force for good in the world. Laura and I join our fellow citizens in thanking our vets and their families who stand beside them. God bless you all.”
The George W. Bush Institute’s Veterans and Military Families program helps veterans, service members and their loved ones make successful transitions through leadership programming and research-driven policy recommendations with focus on informing the veteran employment, education, and health and well-being space so that transitions are simpler and more accessible.
