George W. Bush: “This city is a story of hope and dignity and perseverance.”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

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

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

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.
