George W. Bush: “We honor these men and women who embody these values for America and for the world.”

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.

That is the America I know.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
