George W. Bush: “Today, a new generation of Americans has stepped forward and volunteered to defend the ideals of our Nation's founding.”

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

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

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

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