George W. Bush: “Today we're taking important action to conserve North America's wetlands.”

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.

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

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.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
