George W. Bush: “HIV/AIDS is a global health crisis and a constant struggle for many of our families, friends, and neighbors.”

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

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

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.

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