George W. Bush: “By the authority vested in me as President under the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America…”

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

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

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

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.
