George W. Bush: “I'm proud to be with the heart and soul of America tonight.”

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.
