George W. Bush: “I'm honored to be here with the Alaskan of the Century.”

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.

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

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

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