George W. Bush: “You have suffered unspeakable violence, and America has called these atrocities what they are - genocide.”

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.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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