George W. Bush: “I call on the people of the United States to observe this day by reflecting on the blessings of family.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
