I encourage all Americans to observe these months with appropriate programs and activities.
George H.W. Bush
The Public Record
George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of Vice President under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. Bush was a World War II veteran and served in various roles within the U.S. government, including as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1976 to 1977. His presidency is noted for significant events such as the Gulf War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as his efforts in foreign policy and international diplomacy.
This provision is likely to have pay-as-you-go costs of up to several hundred million dollars per year.
I'm looking to him and to each and every one of you who have given your lives to American intelligence to commit yourselves anew to the excellence that always has been the hallmark of our intelligence community.
Intelligence remains our basic national instrument for anticipating danger: military, political and economic.
It would also undermine the administrative process that was designed to eliminate the need for ad hoc determinations through legislation.
We must always remember the importance of preparedness and the high cost of liberty.
To the men and women of our Armed Forces and to all our veterans, know that you have your country's gratitude on Veterans Day and every day of the year.
We must guard against the danger that old cold war allies will become new economic adversaries.
We see the new Europe at work closer to home, striving against difficult odds to end the war in Yugoslavia.
It is important to honor all veterans, particularly those who fought so bravely during World War II.
I think that Americans living abroad are the everyday example to people around the world of what is embodied in the greatness of our country.
Democracy is not the cause of strife in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union but rather the solution.
It is a wonderful time in spite of the problems we face at home, in spite of the problems that face young people in all countries, not only to be alive but to be looking to the future.
Nothing could be more shortsighted for Europe, for my country, and for the world.
America's veterans have always answered the call and given their all whenever freedom was threatened or democracy imperiled.
