To the people of New Orleans
The Elysian Trumpet heralds the triumphant rebirth of the Crescent City.
Created
to represent the rich heritage of New Orleans, the trumpet celebrates the legendary giants of jazz and honors the unifying
power of a genre that only America could have produced. This cultural treasure symbolizes the bold spirit of a determined and
resilient people and is dedicated to all the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Laura and I
send our prayers and best wishes. May God bless you, and may God Bless America
Signed
George W.Bush
