For those who are wondering - the push truck has been decorated to honor President Bush’s (41) aircraft and carrier from his days as a Naval Aviator in WWII.
VT-51 was Avenger squadron (he was an Avenger pilot)
CVL-30 - USS San Jacinto was his ship

“LTJG BUSH” painted in the ... uhh ... “cockpit” of the push truck.

Also, push driver’s helmet bears the number “41”.

Everyone should have to read "Flyboys" and see what GHW Bush gave up to be the youngest fighter pilot in the Navy. His character and sacrifice really make him an example of the "Greatest Generation" (part deux).
Our incredible guys in the middle east continue that legacy today.

OK, I wondered why the truck he was in was a different color, and why it had USS San Jacinto on it. Nice tributes to Poppy Bush’s WWII career.
