George W. Bush: “I'm glad to be back.”

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

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

What America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.
