It is not unusual for children to follow the paths cut by their parents. You frequently see the children of doctors enter medicine, military members' children enlist. In my family, we witnessed different forms of public and community service.
— Neil Bush
The person who serves as president of the United States is the de facto leader of the free world.
For the record, I was heartbroken when my brother Jeb dropped out of the race for president, not just because he's my brother but because he was clearly the best-qualified candidate, in both experience and temperament to lead the nation.
Points of Light - through our affiliates in 250 U.S. communities and 15 international sites - engages 4 million volunteers in 30 million hours of service each year touching countless lives.
Volunteer service is Dad's true north.
Throughout his amazing life, my father played important roles in shaping U.S. policy towards China.
Trump's anti-China trade demagoguery may work in firing up his base, but it does a disservice to the truth.
When it comes to China, there are genuine giants that need to be conquered and dragons to tame. Protecting intellectual property rights and leveling the playing field for international trade are serious matters that must be resolved. But that will happen through honest negotiation.
Nobody in our family's ever recalled seeing my mom and dad speak a harsh word to one another.
Young people hold great promise for our country's future economic and social well being.
My father taught us to serve with strength and clear-minded conviction, but to do so with humility, to work in the Oval Office on behalf of the American people with a servant's heart.
Given the tools, resources and opportunities to help, more Americans can use their time, talent, voice and money to meet the critical needs of our communities.
For Dad, service took him many unexpected places. It summoned him and his crew mates to the skies over the Pacific Ocean in World War II. It took him to Capitol Hill, Beijing and eventually the Oval Office.
Kuwait has been a strong partner to the United States, and the royal family has maintained an enduring and sincere friendship with my family for generations.
My first trip to China was in 1975 when my father was the 'bicycling ambassador' representing the U.S. in Beijing. This was a time towards the end of the Cultural Revolution where there were very few personal liberties, China was pretty much closed off to the West.
With open markets, the nation's trade deficit with China would shrink as we export more natural gas and agricultural products and as China's consumers could afford to buy their preferred 'Made in America' products.
It's a uniquely American thing that we as individuals not relying on government but we as individuals pitch in to make our communities better.
I was my mother's favorite, but my - 'cause she worried about me the most.
If you are working or a veteran or a parent, time is often the most precious commodity.
Trump shows no philosophical or moral compass and is so divisive that his negative ratings are sky high.
The federal government turns away thousands of applicants to AmeriCorps every year. Our service men and women returning from overseas want to continue to serve. Children from every corner of the country can't wait to volunteer.
Whatever your cause, whatever your motivation, I hope you'll agree with me that volunteer service is an extraordinary gift.
Globalisation, and specifically our connectivity to China, has contributed to a sustained growth in the U.S. economy, has led to full employment and has benefited consumers with lower-cost, high-quality goods.
At the core of our American value system is individual freedom.
Bilateral trade deficits are not evil; historically, better growth in the U.S. economy has led to larger trade deficits.
Dad's such a tough guy.
