George W. Bush: “We've got to understand and remember the important role of first-responders.”

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

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.

The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
