George W. Bush: “Taxpayer dollars should not go to research that destroys embryos.”

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

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.

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 behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.
