George W. Bush: “The United States leads the world in its support of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.”

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

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

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.
