George H.W. Bush’s praise for the war heroes of Pearl Harbor came from his heart

Bush was 17 on December 7, 1941, a Sunday. Friends died in the Japanese attack. A day later he tried to enlist. Too young, he was told to return at age 18. Bush did, almost losing his life in 1944 when his plane was shot down.

George Bush led the biggest diplomatic triumph since Jefferson

The 41st president, who couldn’t always get his sentences straight, wasn’t foreordained for history’s hall of fame. Amid rising deficits and unemployment, Bush lost the 1992 election to a little-known Democrat by the name of Bill Clinton.

The death of former President George H.W. Bush at age 94 Friday closes out the remarkable life of a public servant who over a 50-year-span did everything from bravely tangling with Japanese planes in World War II to successfully managing the end of the Cold War.

Cal Thomas: George H.W. Bush was a man of character

I first met the man who would become America’s 41st president in 1968. He was a Houston congressman and I was a young reporter for a local TV and radio station. My first impression was how kind he was to this “kid,” who had just moved to Texas from the Washington, D.C., area and was just starting to learn the “language,” like “fixing to go” and “y’all.”
