I can’t express how greatly this affects me. Bob Dole was not only a fellow veteran, but a man who cared about his fellow veterans. He was also a fellow Kansan, who cared about the welfare of all Kansans. Bob Dole was a role model, an idol, and a person of great respect to me. I’ll always love what he stood for, and hope that someone of equal caliber can rise to his level of influence in Washington, DC.

If there is any justice in the UNIVERSE, please, let his legacy be honored. I’m crying so hard right now that I am having trouble even typing this.
