George W. Bush: “Precipitous withdrawal from Iraq is not a plan to bring peace to the region or to make our people safer here at home.”

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

That is the America I know.

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.
