A Life of Public Service In Memoriam

Former President George Herbert Walker Bush, 94, Forty-First President of the United States from 1989 to 1993, passed away late yesterday, November 30, 2018. Many fine tributes were given by way of video tape and live telephone calls beginning just before midnight and continuing well after. He joins Barbara Pierce Bush who passed earlier this year, April 17, 2018.

George H. W. Bush was the last of the World War II veterans (a fighter pilot) to serve as president and at one point in his one-term presidency reached an approval rating of 91%. As Commander-in-Chief, he sent the U.S. Military to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait and did so quickly (100 hours), bringing our troops back home within weeks.

Three days before his passing, he met with Former President Barack Obama in Houston, Texas. Mr. Bush leaves us with "a Thousand Points of Light." His funeral will be held in the National Cathedral.
