I first heard of his name while watching CNN on our old black and white television set. His name was mentioned and his photo on the screen of our TV. It was at the time when there was civil unrest in the Philippines and the supposedly few groups of Filipinos are trying to overthrow the Marcos regime. Anyway, that was long time ago. When he was seated in power in Washington DC as the 41st US President, George H.W. Bush the Media has exploited his military service during World War II. He was an accomplished pilot, an experienced politician, he was a gentleman, he was a good father and good husband to the former First Lady Barbara Bush. He looks like John Wayne!? There is nothing spicy or bad remarks thrown at him. I think the Media, the Press and many journalists like his nature, human nature and his sense of humor. Just like his son former US Pres. GW Bush they have the same kind of humor. You probably knew and aware of that if you happened to be watching CNN all the time. However, better watch CBC NEWS Network for well balanced news reporting.
In attendance to the funeral service: Bush family, clan, relatives, friends, men in uniform (military), the priests, the clergy and the church's choir.
US Pres. Trump and his wife FL Melania, former US Presidents and their wives and important diplomats came to attend the funeral service and only chosen few, those people who had closest relationship with the former US Pres., had given the chance to speak for the eulogy service and only the most unforgettable, good memories, funny anecdotes were mentioned and heard.
Former Prime Minister of Canada, Brian Mulroney is one of his close friends and his speech has a message so unforgettable and stick to everyone's mind.
Where is the highest ceiling? What is the meaning of CAVU? C. A. V. U. You should have listened.
I can't ask him anymore to "read his lips."
Our heartfelt condolence to the Bush Family!
It was kind of sad for this family that their dearly beloved father passed away at the time when Christmas celebration is just few days away. But who would be happy when their Mother will be happier to see their Father together side by side, face to face in heaven with God?
REST IN PEACE
Pres. GEORGE H. W. BUSH (1924-2018)
US President 1989 -1993
