George H. W. Bush is making one final footwear statement.
The former president, who in his later years was known for sporting colorful socks, will be carried to his final resting place wearing a pair honoring his service as a Navy pilot in World War II.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath on Monday tweeted a photo of the gray socks, which featured naval aviator wings and depicted a squadron of jets. Bush died Friday at 94.
“The 41st President will be carried to his final rest wearing socks that pay tribute to his lifetime of service, starting as an 18 year-old naval aviator in war,” McGrath said.
