Soldier of the Day Regardless of your politics - when it comes to serving their country...George H.W. Bush is an American Hero. We hope you'll join us in wishing him and his family the best as the former President is in the hospital battling fever in intensive care.
He flew 58 combat missions during World War II. As a torpedo bomber pilot, he was shot down by Japanese AA fire and was rescued from the water by an American submarine. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action.
Good luck and health Mr. President.
