Remembering President George H.W. Bush American Veterans are saddened by the passing of President George H.W. Bush. He led a great life, one that combined and personified two of our nation’s greatest virtues: commitment to public service and an entrepreneurial spirit. Our country will greatly miss his inspiring example. Today, December 5, 2018, Americans will observe a day of mourning for our nation’s 41st president. My HealtheVet honors his service. Read VA’s remembrance.
