George W. Bush: “This order is effective at 12:01 eastern standard time on March 7, 2003.”

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

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

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.
