George W. Bush: “America has the best health care system in the world, because it puts doctors and patients in charge.”

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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