George W. Bush: “It's great to be back in what they call the Big Easy.”

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

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

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.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.
