SUPPORTING THE SUBMARINE FORCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNDERSEA TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
Note received on the occasion of the then-Vice President Bush’s honorary membership in the NSL.
The Naval Submarine League would like to extend our condolences to the family of President George H.W. Bush. In 1944, LTJG George Bush, then a 20-year-old naval pilot, ejected from his flaming airplane and was saved from potential capture by the Japanese by the USS Finback, a diesel submarine operating in the Pacific. This began a lifelong appreciation of submarines and in 1986 then-Vice President George Bush was given an Honorary Life Membership in the NSL. His thank-you note is on display in the NSL Library.
