On Friday, the world lost a good man. And it truly was the world that lost him as is evident throughout our own country and in Kuwait where Bush lead the coalition to liberate Kuwait from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein.
Bush was a member of the greatest generation, fighting in the Pacific during World War II (during which he was shot down), he was head of the CIA, Vice President for both of Reagan's terms and finally the 41st PResident of the United States. Yet it should be noted that his last words were to his son, George W. Bush, "I love you, too". We need to come together in moments like these and respect the man not for politics (of which there are numerous things I disagree with) but for what he was, a man that wouldn't attack his opponents personally, a war hero, a husband and a loving father. We also shouldn't try and use the death of anyone to try and push our own political narrative (like what happened at John Mccain's funeral). All in all, farewell 41. -Jared Zimmerman
