George W. Bush: “We will keep the victims and their families and friends in our thoughts and prayers.”

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

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.

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

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.
