George W. Bush: “Today our Nation grieves with those who have lost loved ones at Virginia Tech.”

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

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.

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.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.
