George W. Bush: “As President, my most solemn responsibility is to keep the American people safe.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.

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.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.
