Former United States President George H.W. Bush returns to Washington, D.C., Monday for the last time. Americans plan to honor the 41st U.S. president with a state funeral on Wednesday. Bush died Friday at the age of 94. He served one term as president, from 1989 to 1993, after a long career in government service. President Donald Trump has sent a presidential airplane to Texas to fly Bush’s body to Washington. The former president will lie in state inside the U.S. Capitol building from late Monday to Wednesday morning. Americans will then mark a national day of mourning for Bush, as the state funeral is held. President Trump has ordered the federal government closed on Wednesday. And flags on public buildings are flying at half-staff for 30 days in honor of Bush.
