George W. Bush: “We love it when the 'Star Spangled Banner' is played.”

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

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.

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.
