11:14Now PlayingFormer Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) passed away this morning at age 98.
January 17, 1997 – Bob Dole remarks upon receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom: "At every stage of my life, I've been a witness to the greatness of this country. Even playing a small role, I've seen American soldiers bring hope and leave graves in every corner of the world. I have seen this nation overcome depression and segregation and communism, turning back mortal threats to human freedom. And I have stood in awe of American courage and decency, the virtues so rare in history and so common in this precious place...America was the hope of history. I have never questioned that faith in victory or in honest defeat. The day I left office it was undiminished...I have found honor in the profession of politics. I have found vitality in the American experiment. Our challenge is not to question American ideals or replace them, but to act worthy of them."
