COLUMBIA, S.C. - Governor Henry McMaster today released the following statement on the passing of President George H.W. Bush:
"The greatness of President Bush’s generation has been defined by their selfless humility and dedication to public service, our nation, and to the fight for freedom around the world. He fought in World War II and helped to end the Cold War. President and Mrs. Bush have touched the hearts and lives of many South Carolinians.
