George W. Bush: “The United States is supporting the fight against HIV/ AIDS in Vietnam.”

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.

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.

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

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