America says goodbye to George H.W. Bush

December 5, 2018

Former President George Herbert Walker Bush made his final journey to the nation’s capital, who passed away last week, November 30, at the age of 94 years.

On Monday, the coffin with the body of the 41st President of the United States was taken from Houston to the Capitol, where people can say goodbye to a politician until Wednesday, December 5th. The funeral will be held in Texas.

US President Donald Trump with his wife Melania, Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress, former and current officials and department heads, and the son of the deceased, 43rd President George W. Bush with his wife Laura and other family members attended the open farewell ceremony. The network went off shots with Sally Labrador, who accompanied Bush Sr. in the last months of his life - the Bush family speaker, Jim McGrath posted a photo of Sally on Twitter with a short signature, "Mission complete".

The American University in Central Asia expresses its condolences to the families and friends of George Herbert Walker Bush. We grieve with you.
