McEachin Statement on the passing of President George H. W. Bush

Richmond, Va. — Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) issued this statement on the passing of the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush:

“Last night we lost an American who respected the trust the country bestowed in him to lead. President Bush was a true American servant, dedicating his life to our country from his service risking his life defending our country’s freedom in World War II, through his time as a CIA Director, to U.N. Ambassador, to vice president, and then President.

“President Bush was a true American patriot and gentleman. Whether I agreed or disagreed with any specific policies, President Bush always governed by principle, trying to do what he believed to be best for our country and supporting and upholding the Constitution.

“Rest in peace, President Bush, you were a true patriot and a role model as a public servant.”
