President Bush Speaks Words of Hope at Memorial Convocation, April 17:
People who have never met you are praying for you. They’re praying for your friends who have fallen and who are injured. There’s a power in these prayers, a real power. In times like this, we can find comfort in the grace and guidance of a loving God. (Blacksburg, VA)
Today, our nation grieves with those who have lost loved ones at Virginia Tech. We hold the victims in our hearts, we lift them up in our prayers, and we ask a loving God to comfort those who are suffering today. Thank you.
--George W. Bush, April 16, 2007
