George H.W. Bush
Bush once said that Texas A&M University was “first in service to our nation.” His shared values with the university were built on the belief that leadership should ultimately be measured by service to others and responsibility to the country.
At the university, the decorated World War II Navy pilot and former U.S. president found kindred spirits who shared his strong belief in integrity, leadership and service and the desire to be a force for good.
No. 41 Chevrolet Camaro will celebrate Bush’s naval service and lifelong commitment to public service during historic race commemorating the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary.
