George W. Bush: “Seven hundred billion dollars is a significant amount of money, and as we act, we will do it in an effective way.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

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