“today I wish to pay tribute to former President George Herbert Walker Bush who died on November 30 at the age of 94. Henry Clay once said, ``Recognize at all times the paramount right of your Country to your most devoted services, whether she treat you ill or well, and never let selfish views or interests predominate over the duties of patriotism.'' Beginning at the age of 18 when he joined the Navy and served in World War II, President's Bush's life was a life of service and of a greater commitment to his country. Over several decades and in numerous roles, President Bush served with honor and decency offering his country the best of his wisdom, experience, and dedication. When he lost reelection in 1992, he left a note to his successor that ended with ``Your success is now our country's success. I'm rooting hard for you. Good luck.''
