SENATOR DOLE SALUTES SENATOR INOUYE

Two weeks ago I discussed the passing of Senator Inouye and the close connection he shared with Senator Robert Dole.  The two were grievously wounded in two separate actions in April of 1945 and met in a military hospital during their recoveries.  Although they represented different states and parties in the United States Senate, the scene of Senator Dole saluting the casket of his colleague, rendering the salute with his left hand because his right hand is unusable, is poignant almost beyond words.
