On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
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.
Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.
