George W. Bush: “Today we honor the history that you've made on the playing field.”

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

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

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.
