I've been away from the computer and news for much of today so I didn't know about this until now.
RIP President Bush.
He took some big secrets to the grave, no doubt.
RIP, I guess.
2018.
A good year.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Very sad to hear
A fine man and a great American
He was the first President i was eligible to vote for
RIP Mr President
My hat is off to him. A WWII Pilot who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism under fire, after being shot down following a successful bombing mission. He was lucky to have been picked up by a submarine, as he could have easily fallen into Japanese hands. A family member of mine was a speech writer to President Bush and she only has good things to say about him. RIP.
shareThanks for sharing this. I think he was an honorable man.
shareI just heard an anecdote that the Japanese were amazed a submarine was deployed to pick up a downed pilot so efficiently. They said that's not how it works on their side.
shareok, officially is it:
george herbert walker bush
or
george herbertwalker bush
or
george herbert walker-bush
or
george herbert-walker bush
or
george (herbert) walker bush
i never heard anyone refer to the president as herb, or herbert, let alone herby
why does he get four names, anyway?
if it werent' for his dumb kid, we could just call him george bush, and saved ourselves time & trillions & many, many lives.
So much a better representative of what the republican party should stand for as compared to his son and our current occupant. Loved the movie W, by the way, and James Cromwell was pretty funny with his portrayal of HW. The whole movie was a hoot except that it was a reflection of a seriously messed up presidency.
