George W. Bush: “I like a plain-talking fellow.”

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.
