I appreciate the warm welcome to this fine university and to this great state. Thank you for such a wonderful welcome. I am honored to be with you on graduation day, as you become proud alumni of CUW. ﹝美国威斯康星协和大学﹞
This teaching of faith is confirmed in our daily experience. Many of us find that there is much more to life than getting and keeping. .
Each of you has gifts to offer, and I am confident you will use those gifts where they are needed. I wish you well on the journey ahead. I thank you for the warm welcome, and the honorary degree. I leave today a proud member of the Concordia University Wisconsin Class of 2004. ﹝美国威斯康星协和大学长与美国总统布什﹞
