George W. Bush: “Freedom is the Almighty God's gift to each man and woman of this world.”

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.

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.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
