George W. Bush: “These are not Republican principles or Democratic principles; these are principles that are shared by Americans in both…”

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

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.

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

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