George W. Bush: “We will build the security of America by fighting our enemies abroad and protecting our folks here at home.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

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.

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

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
