## Resource

On the day America was shattered, President George W. Bush was just eight months into his presidency—giving a speech at an elementary school in Florida when chaos erupted. As planes slammed into the Twin Towers, he transformed from a novice leader into a grieving commander-in-chief, flying between military bases while the nation trembled. His emotional address to the nation and solemn visit to Ground Zero became defining moments. Now 80, he’s preparing to honor the 25th anniversary with ceremonies in New York and a powerful exhibit of his own artwork at his Dallas library—reflecting on loss, resilience, and the enduring cost of that fateful day.
