McConnell Pays Tribute to George H. W. Bush: ‘George Bush Was the Best of the Best’

‘We’re thankful that God gave this country George Bush and Barbara’

EXCERPT:

MCCONNELL: “The greatest generation achieved all-American accomplishments and exhibited all-American virtues. It may be just that no one did that as fully as our 41st President. Even in the ranks of this remarkable generation, he will stand out forever as one of its most especially remarkable sons. George Bush was the best of the best. Months after Pearl Harbor, our future President celebrated his 18th birthday and high school graduation by enlisting in the Navy. He was still a teenager when he got his wings. The youngest naval aviator. And he was only 20 on that fateful day in September 1944. He was piloting one of four avenger bombers aiming to take out a Japanese radio tower.”
