George W. Bush: “Today we call on Americans to exercise this responsibility with special care and vigilance.”

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

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

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 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.
