George W. Bush: “America will never forget their sacrifice.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

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.
