George W. Bush: “I appreciate the mayor's efforts to work hard to hold people to account for breaking the law.”

That is the America I know.

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
