George W. Bush: “We're very proud that we've not just met this goal, but we've exceeded it.”

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

That is the America I know.

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.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
