I saw this on twitter this morning, and I am pleased to be able to feature a former president who has come to be very beloved in recent years. On this date in 1944. navy aviator George H.W. Bush  and his squadron were attacked.  His plane caught on fire when under Japanese attack, but he still managed to drop  his bombs and bail out over the water.   Three other crew members did not make it, but Bush floated on a raft for four hours.  A submarine crew rescued him, and he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his bravery.
