George W. Bush

I encourage companies to promote skills-based volunteering by their employees.

I call on all Americans to serve their communities, their Nation, and their world.

I call upon the people of the United States to observe Patriot Day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and remembrance services.

My heart soars with pride to represent a country filled with such wonderful people as you.

We must not allow our resolve to be weakened by the passage of time.

On Patriot Day, we cherish the memory of the thousands of innocent victims lost.

We can use your help.

The terrorists who attacked our country on September the 11th didn't understand our country at all.

Americans should be confident that the actions taken today will strengthen our ability to weather the housing correction and are critical to returning the economy to stronger sustained growth in the future.

Putting these companies on sound financial footing and reforming their business practices is critical to the health of our financial system and to making further progress with the housing correction.

We are really looking forward to seeing you all play.

I do want to thank the Dunbar High School Junior ROTC for carrying the flag.

These housing mortgage companies cannot continue to operate safely and soundly and fulfill their public mission, posing an unacceptable risk to the broader financial system and our economy.

I know anticipation is rising here—we will have the Little League Pledge.

What an honor it is to have Rascal Flatts not only play the national anthem, but entertain you at the picnic at the South Lawn after the game.

These trade agreements will create more opportunities for American manufacturing interests, farmers, ranchers, and entrepreneurs.

At a time of economic challenge, the last thing American families need is a massive tax increase.

Throughout this week, we renew the call for this country to never rest until equality is real, opportunity is universal, and all citizens can realize their dreams.

Today I am announcing $1 billion in additional economic assistance to meet Georgia's humanitarian needs and to support its economic recovery.

I do hereby proclaim September 7 through September 13, 2008, as National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week.

Last month, Russia invaded a sovereign neighbor and violated Georgia's territorial integrity.

My Administration is committed to promoting equal opportunities and access to higher education for all students.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are helping to extend lifelines of learning throughout our country.

Our Nation has provided nearly $30 million in humanitarian assistance to Georgia.

Our Nation's HBCUs help unlock the great potential within students by providing quality higher education to traditionally underserved communities.
