George W. Bush: “European leaders now know that our administration is committed to a strong NATO and a free Europe.”

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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