| Quote: | Before Bush left the meeting, he paused in the middle of the room and said to the families, "I will never feel the same level of pain and loss you do. I didn't lose anyone close to me, a member of my family or someone that I love. But I want you to know that I didn't go into this lightly. This was a decision that I struggle with every day."
As he spoke, Ascione could see the grief rising through the president's body. His shoulder slumped and his face turned ashen. He began to cry and his voice choked. He paused, tried to regain his composure and looked around the room. "I am sorry, I'm so sorry," he said. |
God Bless you and give you the necessary strength, Mr. President. |

What an emotionally grueling task this genuine man has set for himself,
and it is a testament to his character that he sees this as his duty as CinC!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
