Thirty years ago today, Senator Bob Dole gave his farewell speech on the floor of the Senate, leaving behind a legacy of service, dedication & compassion. He cared deeply about representing the people of KS, & he had a profound respect for the institution of the Senate. He left his country, nation & state in better shape than when he arrived, & he always knew that the brighter days were yet to come.
Today, we honor Sen. Dole’s legacy that shows the difference one person can make – regardless of their background, birthplace or education. Kansans & Americans hold him in the highest regard – & he lived a life worthy of that respect.
