This morning, the Navy’s Twitter account posted this tweet containing a video which summarizes Bush’s service as an aviator in WWII. You’ve probably heard the story about him being shot down in combat before, but seeing the sequence, even in animated form, really adds something to your sense of what an amazing thing it is that Bush survived the war.
Today, the nation says goodbye to our #USNavy shipmate President George H.
