George W. Bush: “America is in the lead when it comes to HIV/AIDS on the continent of Africa; we're on the lead when it comes to feeding…”

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

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.
