George W. Bush: “It's a good opportunity to say hello to some of our fellow Americans.”

America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe.

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.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.
