“I still believe that public service is a noble calling … and if we can inculcate into just one student the idea that government service, or public service, or doing something to help others is important, then for me that really would be doing the Lord’s work.” - President George H.W. Bush
George H.W. Bush’s legacy of selfless service is important to remember today. From his time as a naval aviator during WWII to his tenures in the White House, President Bush served his country and community with honor and respect.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH ON THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION:
CRAWFORD, TEXAS — I congratulate President Trump on his election as 47th President of the United States of America, as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and their families.
I also thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for their service to our country.
The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions. Laura and I are grateful to the election officials, poll workers, and volunteers who oversaw a free, fair, safe, and secure election.
We join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government. May God continue to bless our great country.

The George & Barbara Bush Foundation mourns the passing of Dan Sullivan. Dan was a long serving staff member and served as Director of Advance for then Vice President Bush. We send our condolences to his wife Emma and the entire Sullivan family.
Tom Donohue was a fierce and tireless advocate for the American business community and a true patriot. His extraordinary leadership will be greatly missed. The George & Barbara Bush Foundation extends its deepest sympathy to the Donohue family as they mourn his loss.
Wishing a very happy birthday to our Board member and dear friend to the Bushes, Secretary Robert Gates! We are grateful for his continual support, and for living out the same values that President Bush exhibited – that public service is a noble calling.
#OnThisDay in 2014, we gathered at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. to announce the #PLScholars. Over the last decade, the bipartisan program has welcomed more than 500 leaders – who are committed to solving society's greatest challenges – into the network.

Great interview with Secretary Robert Gates in @TAMU Today. Sec. Gates reflects on his friendship with President and Mrs. Bush and their dedication to public service. https://t.co/GlP2r7r4Or
The George & Barbara Bush Foundation joins our fellow Americans in mourning the innocent life that was lost tonight in Butler, Pennsylvania — and in sending our prayers to President Trump and his family and the other rally attendees who were injured. We are grateful to the United States Secret Service for their quick response.
We also join our fellow Americans in condemning this senseless violence, which can have no place in our political process. This great Nation, which so many have fought and died to preserve, deserves better.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Bonsall of the @oakridgeboys and dear friend of President and Mrs. Bush. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bonsall family, his @oakridgeboys family, and his many fans.
Watch the Oak Ridge Boys singing “Amazing Grace” at President Bush’s funeral in 2018.

We are wishing the @aggiebaseball team luck as they head into the @CWSOmaha finals tomorrow!
The @TAMU Aggies honored President Bush’s centennial birthday by wearing a 41@100 patch on their jerseys this season, which was truly an honor. We have no doubt President and Mrs. Bush will be pulling for the Fightin’ Aggies from their heavenly sky box.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at @TAMU to celebrate the life and legacy of President George H.W. Bush on what would’ve been his 100th birthday.
We heard heartwarming stories and inspirational lessons from people who worked alongside him and remember him fondly, including special guests and panel members Secretary Robert M. Gates, Jon Meacham and Jean Becker. We appreciate the Bush grandchildren sharing how they each carry on President Bush’s commitment to public service in their own way, and how the extended Bush family parachute jumped to honor his love of adventure. If you missed the panels or want to re-watch, visit our website at https://t.co/kyflKOaKEC.
Finally, a special shoutout to @robertearlkeen, @LyleLovett, Max and Heather Stalling, and @TAMUyell for their amazing performances.
Next time you’re in College Station, we invite you to visit the now open Marine One/4141 Locomotive Pavilion at the @Bush41Library, where you can see the retired Marine One helicopter, Union Pacific 4141 Locomotive, and grab a bite to eat at Daisy’s Cafe.
Happy centennial birthday, Mr. President. 🇺🇸

We’re thrilled to share this video that was shown at the annual Congressional Baseball game on June 12, the same day that President Bush would’ve celebrated his 100th birthday. He was a lifelong baseball fan and played in this game as a congressman from Texas.

Happy #FathersDay from the George & Barbara Bush Foundation! Today we remember President Bush’s endless love and support for his family and celebrate all the amazing dads out there.
Every day she served as First Lady, Barbara Bush told her staff she wanted to “do something to help others.” So she did, and our country and world are better places for it. Today, on what would have been her 99th birthday, we remember and celebrate her unflagging selflessness. #Service #DoSomething #BPB
On June 13 at the #41at100 celebrations, several of President George H.W. Bush’s grandchildren will pay tribute to their grandfather’s adventurous spirit by parachute jumping from a perfectly good airplane. They’ll be accompanied by Mike Elliott and the team at @AllVeteranGroup. That afternoon, the Bush grandchildren will join together for a sold out panel discussion about how they’re carrying forward their grandfather’s commitment to public service.
