Evenwith all he accomplishedin serviceto our Nation, President Bushremainedhumble. He never believedthat government-- even when under his own leadership-- could be the sourceof our Nation'sstrength or its greatness. America,he rightly told us, is illuminated by "a thousand points of light," "ethnic, religious, social,business,labor union, neighborhood,regionaland other organizations,all of them varied, voluntary and unique" in which AmericansserveAmericansto build and maintainthe greatest NationonthefaceoftheEarth. PresidentBushrecognizedthat these communitiesof peopleare the true sourceof America's strength and vitality.
