George W. Bush: “This is a time of promise for America.”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

What America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

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.

Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.
