Like Bush, Dole is a World War II veteran. He arrived in the Capitol rotunda in a wheelchair pushed by an aide. At the casket’s side, the aide lifted Dole, 95, into a standing position. Once steadied, Dole saluted.
Bush achieved the office that Dole sought in 1996 as the Republican presidential nominee.
Bush died on Friday at age 94.
Enough of this repeated news coverage about Bush #41 ; may he rest in peace. I don’t recall as much news coverage when Nixon died in 1994, or Ford in 2006.
To #4 - Hashomer did not write the article in #1 . I did, and I stand by my statement. Federal workers were not given the day off, when Dwight D. Eisenhower died in 1969. Ike helped plan and lead the D Day invasion, which liberated Europe from the Nazis saving millions of enslaved people. There were eight years of peace when Ike was President.
