Naval Air Station Corpus Christi could be re-named after Bush 41
The naval air station where former President George H.W. Bush earned his naval wings in 1943 could soon be renamed after the late president.
Nueces County commissioners are set to vote Wednesday on a resolution in support of changing the name of the N.A.S. Corpus Christi to the George H.W. Bush Naval Air Station Corpus Christi – a push that's making its way through Texas and Washington.
Bush, the country's 41st president, died Nov. 30. He was 94.
The former pilot joined the Navy when he was 18 and earned his wings at the N.A.S. Corpus Christi days before his 19th birthday. He was the youngest pilot in the Navy at that time, according to the Department of Defense.
