“What we dedicate today is not a memorial to war, rather it's a tribute to the physical and moral courage that makes heroes out of farm and city boys and that inspires Americans in every generation to lay down their lives for people they will never meet, for ideals that make life itself worth living.”
Bob Dole, One Soldier's Story

“The Internet is a great way to get on the net.”
Bob Dole

“It is often said that my generation is the "greatest generation". That's not a title we claimed for ourselves. Every generation of young men and women who dares to face the realities of war - they are the greatest generation.”
Bob Dole, One Soldier's Story
