Statement of Senator Bob Kerrey on the Announcement of Senator Chuck Hagel
NEW YORK – Today we reflect upon the numerous accomplishments of Senator Hagel and his contributions to the future of Nebraska and the nation. His leadership on a variety of issues will be sorely missed. He has served his country with honor and distinction, and I wish my good friend the very best.
Six years ago tomorrow, our world forever changed. September 11 is a constant reminder that freedom is never free. It is also a reminder that our freedom depends on men and women like Chuck Hagel who advance the cause of freedom and the better nature of America on the battlefield or in the political arena.
This is a day to honor Chuck Hagel and his service. Any discussion of my political future will have to wait for another day.
