George W. Bush: “We often think of this as one of great national loss, and that is certainly the case.”

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.

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

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
