George W. Bush: “Jim's election will be good for Missouri, and it will be good for the United States of America.”

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.

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

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
