General Order #6 Series 2018-2019 5 December 2018

1. As you are probably aware from the widespread media coverage, the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, died on November 30, 2018. As a former President, having held one of, if not the, most difficult offices in government, he is entitled to respectful acknowledgment of his passing.

2. The United States has acknowledged today, December 5, 2018, as a National Day of Mourning as regards his passing. In conjunction with this National Day of Mourning, I now Order that the SUVCW National Web Site and the Charters of all SUVCW Departments and Camps be draped, and that all brothers attach a black mourning ribbon to their membership badges. This Order shall remain in effect for 30 days from this date.

Ordered this 5th Day of December, 2018
