George H.W. Bush
As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary as a nation, Texas A&M University pauses to reflect on a man who not only served his country in World War II at the tender age of 18 but also became a champion of public service throughout his life. Although he wasn't an Aggie, George H.W. Bush's legacy is a testament to the Core Values he embodied. His selfless service and leadership can be seen at his presidential library and The Bush School of Government and Public Service, and in the people he inspired every day.
