George H W Bush

A MAJOR world event that had a HUGE impact on the late president's entire life was the attack on Pearl Harbor.  It sent in motion the arc of his young life.  He was 17 and a half.

How fitting that the final duty regarding his long life finally concluded on the morning of the anniversary of that fateful day.

It was an honor. pic.twitter.com/Tjw9y4B0qo
