1990s: Led campaign for WWII memorial
Dole is commander of a national campaign to build a World War II memorial in Washington, DC. The $100 million fund-raising drive became the primary focus of his life following his loss to Bill Clinton in the 1996 presidential election. Pres. Clinton
unveiled the design for the memorial on the same day he awarded Dole the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that nation's highest civilian award. Then, as he has in recent years, he became emotional as he talked about the meaning of WWII. Dole believes
the memorial is necessary to remind the world that just men and women can prevail. He wants it to be a backdrop for WWII's unrealized ideals, a platform for America's children to speak out for freedom, decency and human democracy.
In his remarks that
day, Dole was particularly eloquent. He said, "I've seen American soldiers bring hope and leave graves in every corner of the world. I've seen this nation overcome Depression and segregation and communism, turning back mortal threats to human freedom."
