Passing of George H. W. Bush

President George Herbert Walker Bush passed away today.  He was a World War II Fighter Pilot, and truly loved this country.  I was not always a fan of his policies.  I recognized that Daddy Bush was a moderate, and a globalist.

Born in 1924, after serving as Vice President under President Ronald Reagan, Bush was elected to the House of Representatives in 1966.  He served as director of the CIA in 1976.  He was Vice President of the United States from 1981-1989.  He was elected President in 1988 and assumed office in January of 1989.  Bush completed Reagan's goal of ending the Cold War when the Soviet Union broke up during the first year of his term of office.

George Herbert Walk Bush died November 30, 2018, at the age of 94, the oldest of any former President of the United States.

His wife, Barbara Bush, died earlier in the year on April 17.
