George W. Bush: “I thank our Nation's veterans for the fine example that you have set for our country.”

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

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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