George W. Bush: “We've got a fabulous military run by fine people.”

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

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.

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