George W. Bush: “Any American who desires to donate to these efforts can easily do so online.”

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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.

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