Pres. GHW Bush is 93 today and he looks great. I guess that all of those years of jogging have paid off for the former president.
"On his 18th birthday he enlisted in the armed forces.
The youngest pilot in the Navy when he received his wings, he flew 58 combat missions during World War II.
On one mission over the Pacific as a torpedo bomber pilot he was shot down by Japanese antiaircraft fire and was rescued from the water by a U. S. submarine.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action."
After the war, Bush married Barbara and headed for Texas. He became a successful businessman and later went into politics.
Happy birthday Pres. Bush! I was very proud to vote for you in 1988 and 1992!
Thank you for your war service and everything else!
