Today, our nation mourns the loss of a towering leader who embodied courage and excellence in public service. Senator Bob Dole was an extraordinary patriot, who devoted his entire life in service to the county he loved and to our cherished national values for which he fought.
With great valor & heroism, Senator Dole put his life on the line on the battlefield to defend our democracy. From the Well of the House to the Floor of the Senate, from presidential candidate to elder statesman, he served our county with great integrity & was a man of his word.
Senator Dole championed our men and women in uniform and the hidden heroes who care for them each day. He also never failed to raise his powerful voice on behalf of Americans living with disabilities and was an inspiration himself to millions.
As we honor his life, let us resolve to live up to his challenge and carry on his mission. May it be a comfort to his loving wife, Elizabeth, and his dear daughter, Robin, that a grateful nation joins them in mourning on this sad day. My full statement: speaker.gov/newsroom/12521…
