George W. Bush: “I ask that you use what you've learned to make your own contributions to the story of American freedom.”

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

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