Lady Florida. Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) I didn't realize Bob Dole was still alive until I saw a video of him saluting Bush 41's casket. Now I know. ETA: It brought me to tears. And this from someone who was not a fan of either of their politics.

MrsMommy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I just sent my husband a text message about that...I had no idea he was still alive. It was quite a touching moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 That was so incredibly touching. I also didn't know whether or not he was still alive. DH and I were watching late yesterday afternoon and saw Liddy Dole. But Bob wasn't there, and so we started trying to remember whether he'd passed away or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I thought he had passed too. Whoever the gentleman was who helped him up did it with such care and love. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I got teary watching that too. And the service dog sitting at the casket. I read this about Bob Dole over the summer - it's a lovely article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bob-doles-final-mission/2018/06/18/93962908-6fff-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html?utm_term=.df59671e13d2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I sent dh a text about it too. It was a touching moment, once I recovered from the “I thought he passed away years ago” feeling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
