Tyrel Cody Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I was too young when he was president to really know if I agreed with his politics or not. Regardless of all that, he was a President and he certainly deserves respect. In honor of a man that no doubt gave up a lot to serve this great country, let's have a drink. First round is on my tab. Bottles serve em up! The next round is on @Blackwater 53393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Here's to President Bush I got the next round. Some words of wisdom he wrote in one of his many letters. “I cannot single out the one greatest challenge in my life. I have had a lot of challenges and my advice to young people might be as follows Don’t get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and often success Don’t blame others for your setbacks When things go well, always give credit to others Don’t talk all the time. Listen to your friends and mentors and learn from them Don’t brag about yourself. Let others point out your virtues, your strong points. Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting show that friend you care Nobody likes an overbearing big shot As you succeed, be kind to people. Thank those who help you along the way Don’t be afraid to shed a tear when your heart is broken because a friend is hurting. Say your prayers!! George Bush” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (ahem) <hoists glass>To a great man. A statesman rather than a politician.

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 His greatest challenge in politics was having to follow Ronald Reagan in the presidency. He was a good man who did his dead level best in a bad situation! He was a warrior and a statesman, a combination that is sorely needed when the chips are down! I got the next round.

Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 My Dad was a WW II naval officer. It hit me to see President Bush pass away. WW II severly affected me and it is hard to see all of the warriors leave the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Carpenter Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Had one of my older Ret. Army friends over for dinner tonight. He is 81 and I am only 77. We broke out some 14 year old Glenlivet and had a glass or two to remember GHW Bush. Fine man and a great patriot. Loved people and especially the Military. RIP. Cheers, Hoss C.
