#美国总统# 第四十一任总统乔治·H·W·布什 （1989-1993）
乔治·H·W·布什（George H. W. Bush）是第41任总统（1989-1993年），他为白宫带来了美国的传统价值观，并在面临一个急剧变化的世界时，决心用这些价值观使美国成为“一个更友善、更温和的国家”。
布什18岁那年入伍。第二次世界大战期间，他作为鱼雷轰炸机飞行员在太平洋上执行任务，被日本防空炮火击落，并被美国潜艇从海中救出。他因英勇战斗而被授予杰出飞行十字勋章。
在出任总统之前，布什被任命一系列高级职位：驻联合国大使、共和党全国委员会主席、美国驻中华人民共和国联络处主任、中央情报局局长。
1988年，布什在大选中击败了对手迈克尔·杜卡基斯（Michael Dukakis）。
布什最大的考验是伊拉克总统萨达姆·侯赛因（Saddam Hussein）入侵科威特，然后威胁要进入沙特阿拉伯。布什誓言让科威特自由，集结了联合国、美国人民和美国国会，并派遣了42.5万名美军。来自盟友国的11.8万名士兵加入了他们的行列。经过数周的空中和导弹轰炸美国第一任总统，被称为“沙漠风暴”的长达100小时的陆地作战将伊拉克的百万陆军击溃。
布什和他的妻子芭芭拉（Barbara）育有六个孩子，其中包括成为美国第43任总统的乔治·W·布什（George W. Bush）。
布什于2018年11月30日去世，享年94岁。
明天，我们将分享下一任总统威廉·J·克林顿（William J. Clinton）的故事。#美国历任总统#
#U.S. Presidents# (#41) George H. W. Bush (1989-1993)
George H. W. Bush, as the 41st President (1989-1993), brought to the White House a dedication to traditional American values and a determination to direct them toward making the United States “a kinder and gentler nation” in the face of a dramatically changing world.
At age 18, Bush was enlisted in the armed forces. On one mission during World War II over the Pacific as a torpedo bomber pilot he was shot down by Japanese antiaircraft fire and was rescued from the water by a U.S. submarine. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action.
Before becoming president, Bush was appointed to a series of high-level positions: Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Chief of the U. S. Liaison Office in the People’s Republic of China, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
In 1988 Bush defeated opponent Michael Dukakis in the general election.
Bush’s greatest test came when Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, then threatened to move into Saudi Arabia. Vowing to free Kuwait, Bush rallied the United Nations, the U. S. people, and Congress and sent 425,000 American troops. They were joined by 118,000 troops from allied nations. After weeks of air and missile bombardment, the 100-hour land battle dubbed Desert Storm routed Iraq’s million-man army.
Bush and his wife Barbara had six children, including George W. Bush, who became the 43rd President of the United States.
Bush passed away on November 30, 2018, at the age of 94.
Tomorrow, we will share about the next President – William J. Clinton. #Presidents of the U.S.#
