COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Join the George Bush Museum and Library for a discussion about USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), with the Ship’s Commanding Officer Captain Dave Pollard, and Command Master Chief Nick Wallace on Friday.

They will reflect on the history of the Ship’s namesake, update us on the most recent 8.5-month deployment, and explore the future of the flagship of the George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group.

The event will take place in the orientation theater of the Bush Library and Museum from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is hosted by the George & Barbara Bush Foundation.

Attendance is free but seating is limited, so reservations are strongly encouraged.
