George W. Bush: “I believe that the best way to protect us in this war on terror is to fight them.”

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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.

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