George W. Bush: “The Iraqi people want to vote.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

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

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.

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.
