## Caption

Long before he stepped foot in the White House, George W. Bush was strapping in to serve as an F-102 fighter pilot. ⁣
⁣
Bush served a six-year term, and returned to Texas looking to start a new career. Bush started Arbusto Energy, an oil and gas exploration company. But, his step into politics took him from board room to Governor's office, and eventually the Oval Office. Only a few months into being commander-in-chief, Bush led the country following the 9/11 attacks. ⁣
⁣
He's been named on the Forbes' list of America’s Most Successful Living Veterans. See the full list at the link in the bio.⁣
