Col. Bush, US Army, served in WWI (Calvery), WWII (Army Engineers) and as Commandant of Army Engineering School in New Haven, CT during Korean Conflict.
It has been almost 22 years now that my father gave his life for his country and it still seems like yesterday. The anniversary of his plane crash is coming up on 12/12/07, and it is hard to believe that he has missed so much of my sister and my lives. I realized a long time ago that he would never be there to see me graduate High School and soon College and he will never be there to give me away at my wedding. But the saddest thing is that he will never know that he now has a new Grandson on the way (Christopher Alan).
My grandfather was in the Navy and ran a machine gun on top of his destroyer in WWII and was at Pearl Harbor. Thank you for your service, Grampy!
