George W. Bush: “It is the faith of a man lying in an operating room who prayed for the one who shot him before he prayed for himself.”

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

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
