George McGovern dedicated his life to serving the country he loved.He signed up to fight in World War II, and became a decorated bomber pilot over the battlefields of Europe. When the people of South Dakota sent him to Washington, this hero of war became a champion for peace. And after his career in Congress, he became a leading voice in the fight against hunger.George was a statesman of great conscience and conviction, and Michelle and I share our thoughts and prayers with his family.
