George W. Bush: “Small business is the backbone of our economy.”

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

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.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
