I respect every soldier, from every country, who serves beside us in the hard work of history. America is grateful, and America will not forget.
George W. BushWe may discover resources on the moon or Mars that will boggle the imagination, that will test our limits to dream. And the fascination generated by further exploration will inspire our young people to study math, and science, and engineering and create a new generation of innovators and pioneers.
George W. BushNo president ever puts American lives at risk without a terrible sense of responsibility. And no American ever hears or reads of a soldierโs death without saying a silent prayer for the dead hero or thinking of the grief of the family and friends. Every young man or woman who dies represents a life with its own dreams and plans, extinguished so suddenly. But all said and done, it is our responsibility to see that (1) we never put our troops in situations where they are subject to unnecessary risk, and (2) we give them all our support at all times.
George W. Bush
