George W. Bush: “We will transform these systems so that all citizens are equipped, prepared -- and thus truly free -- to make your own…”

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

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

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.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.
