George W. Bush: “America and our allies seek to advance the cause of liberty and defend the dignity of every person.”

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

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

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
