George W. Bush: “I encourage every community to embrace the cause of victims' rights and services.”

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

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.

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

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