It is with profound sadness that I learned of the death of the individual that I admired most in my lifetime — Sen. Bob Dole.

To know Bob Dole was to love the man, the man who persevered despite permanent scars from near death he suffered in World War II. He constantly strived to make life better for those who served our nation and for the disabled.

Thank you for investing the time to write this personal tribute to Bob Dole. Dole understood that compromise is the oxygen of democracy. Our country desperately needs more politicians like Dole.
