George W. Bush: “The United States is committed to advancing the values that sustain liberty.”

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

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

That is the America I know.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.
