"America has lost an honorable man who leaves a legacy of conservative leadership. President George H.W. Bush exemplified the Greatest Generation through his faithful commitment to our nation as a war hero, Congressman, Ambassador to the United Nations, Director of the CIA and President. Along with my fellow Americans, I send my sincere condolences to the entire Bush family on this difficult day. We all gain some comfort in knowing he is reunited with his beloved wife, First Lady Barbara Bush."
