George W. Bush: “We are called, each and every one of us, not only to make our own way but to ease the path of others.”

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

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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