George W. Bush: “Hanukkah commemorates a victory for freedom and the courage and faith that made it possible.”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

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.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
