President G. H. W. Bush WWII Experiences Shape MIA Mission

Lauren Trecosta January 27, 2020About 2 Comments

George H. W. Bush is an indelible part of Project Recover history. Before it became Project Recover in 2018, Project Recover was known as The BentProp Project. We were a small group with big dreams to bring our MIAs home. Former President George H. W. Bush, a WWII pilot, was a significant part of our early years and remains so today.
