George W. Bush: “It's an extraordinary circumstance that you're talking about.”

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

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.
