George W. Bush: “Your work is making a difference in saving lives and helping people who need help.”

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

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

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