George W. Bush: “A victory for the forces of liberty in Afghanistan will be a resounding defeat in this ideological struggle.”

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.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.
