We will honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives—by defeating the terrorists, by advancing the cause of liberty, and by laying the foundation of peace for a generation of young Americans.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.
We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
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.
