Family brag alert:
My grandpa was in the submarine that saved Bush when his plane went down. Got invited to Bush 41’s inauguration however many years later and everything. Pretty legit, my grandpa was a badass.
George H. W. Bush is shot down during World War II
This paragraph is from the Navy Action Report describing the future President’s plane being hit by Japanese fire on September 2, 1944. Lt. Bush would fly several miles from the island of Chichijimi before bailing out of his aircraft. Both of his crewmen were killed as a result of the battle.
