The Final Salute

Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Dr. Ebenezer Bush, DDS our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Dr. Bush. And to Dr. Bush it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in the U.S. Army. Dr. Bush, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Dr. Bush's family and loved ones.

Uncle Bush was a great influence in the lives of the Columbus Ohio Barretts (Jesse, Andrea, Wesley, and J.C.) and Nona Hollingsworth of Reynoldsburg, Ohio. We loved him but know that God loved him best. His greeting to everyone he met was a simple word, "PEACE". We know that with Jesus, Uncle Bush has found that peace.
Our condolences go out to Dr. Ron and Raquel Bush, Eunice and Ken Collins, Leslie and Evan Bush, and Thomas and Toni King.
