George W. Bush: “I believe in the power of prayer because I have felt it in my own life.”

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.

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.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

What America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.
