An American hero. I disagreed with him politically but it doesn't matter. He suffered all his adult life while putting his life on the line for America while in Italy. Rest in Peace, Sir.... I salute you and your service!

Well said, very well said.

He might’ve been partisan, but he was honorable compared the morons we have today. How many of our Senators have served? 5? True patriot.

RIP Senator Dole. God bless your memory and your family. Never knew he was in Army hospital and recovery for 3 years. Amazing story of survival and overcoming a US Military service connected disability / war injury. What a true American hero and fighter.

Here's something interesting to consider: Any World War 2 veteran still alive today has to be at least 94 years old if they turned 18 in 1945.

Jehovah God, the Almighty Creator, according to Isaiah 25:8, will eliminate death from earth: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it." And Revelation 21:4: "And He (Jehovah) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
