George W. Bush: “The war against terrorism in Southeast Asia is far from over.”

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.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

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

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