We are dealing with one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history.... This is going to be a difficult road. The challenges that we face on the ground are unprecedented. But there's no doubt in my mind we're going to succeed. Right now the days seem awfully dark for those affected - I understand that. But I'm confident that, with time, you can get your life back in order, new communities will flourish... and America will be a stronger place for it. The country stands with you. We'll do all in our power to help you. May God bless you. - President George W. Bush
