George W. Bush: “No matter how long it takes, we will defend freedom.”

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

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.
