Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement in honor of today’s National Day of Mourning in remembrance of former President George H.W. Bush:

“Today marks a National Day of Mourning in remembrance of former President George H.W. Bush, but in reality we celebrate a man’s life spent dedicated to public service. From an early age, his life story almost reads like a great fiction novel. From the time he enlisted in the Navy as a young man, after the attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII, to his days spent dedicated to humanitarian efforts across the world after his political career, President Bush’s life is to be honored, studied, and celebrated.

“And on days like today, I often find myself praying and looking to the future in the hopes I catch a glimpse of what God has in store for us. And while our nation seems to be stuck in a perpetual state of turmoil, those visions can often be bleak and troublesome; but then I remember a life like former President Bush’s, and I’m reinvigorated with hope and optimism. I cannot help but believe there are young, selfless, patriotic individuals awaiting their turn to make an indelible mark on the world just like former President George H.W. Bush. May he rest in peace.”
