"This holy season reminds us of the value of freedom, and the power of a love stronger than death," Bush, on a five-day stay at his 1,600-acre ranch, said in his weekly radio address.

Bush declared that the Easter and Passover holidays have "special meaning" this year for service members' families, "who feel so intensely the absence of their loved ones during these days."
