George W. Bush: “They understood that tyranny must be met with resolve and that liberty is always the achievement of courage.”

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

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.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

That is the America I know.
