George W. Bush: “We commend the African Union for assuming a leading role in its monitoring mission.”

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

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.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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