George W. Bush: “It is such a powerful feeling to know that I represent a great land that is united in our efforts to secure freedom.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
