WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (Kan.) today released the following statement marking the inaugural Bob Dole Day of Service, one year after Sen. Dole- passing:
“Sen. Bob Dole lived a remarkable life, yet always treated others with respect and kindness. Whether it was on the battlefield, in the halls of Congress, or in his personal life, Sen. Dole- dedication to his fellow Kansans and to his country was a consistent reminder that a single person can make a difference and change the world for the better.
“Raised in Russell, Sen. Dole left Kansas to serve in World War II where he earned two Purple Hearts. He then spent a remarkable 36 years on Capitol Hill, rising to become Senate Majority Leader and leading significant legislative achievements. Known for working toward commonsense solutions over partisan ones, he became the first Kansan since Dwight D. Eisenhower to be the Republican nominee for President. On the floor of the United States Senate, I am honored to use Sen. Dole- desk, and I am regularly reminded of his dedication to Kansans and all of his fellow Americans through his incredible life and the enduring legacy he left behind for each of us.
“To carry on Sen. Dole- legacy of service and remember him on the anniversary of his passing, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation is holding the inaugural Bob Dole Day of Service. I hope that you will join me in honoring Sen. Dole- life by performing an act of kindness to a loved one, friend, neighbor or stranger in your community.”
