A special Memorial Day feature in The Hill salutes Senator Bob Dole for his lifetime of achievements—from being a warrior in World War II, to Senate Majority Leader, writer and consultant—and embodying the “best of America.”
“Let’s salute Bob Dole,” the May 16, 2012, opinion column reads, “whose achievements are measured in books, monuments and institutes of learning, including a special one that bears his name, which brilliantly passes his torch to young people.”
The piece highlights Senator Dole’s role at the World War II Memorial, “[greeting] his brothers from a war long past and instantly becoming that young man again, smiling, beaming, forever young.”
“It makes me so proud,” the author writes, “to live in a nation that produces men like Bob Dole, American vet.”
