Bush, who passed away last Friday, was honored with a full ceremony at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile in Zanesville, the local ceremony began with a 21 gun salute from members of the American Legion Zanesville Post, held in accord to military honors.

Cody Pettit, Chairman of the Muskingum County Young Republicans, was invited to deliver the memorial speech about President Bush’s life and decades of public service.
