Former Kansas Senator Bob Dole was the Republican Presidential nominee in 1996, eventually losing the election to former President Bill Clinton. A former Senate Majority Leader, Dole was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1997 as a tribute to his character and contributions to the nation. Dole is also the author of two best-selling books on political humor: “Great Presidential Wit, I Wish I Was In The Book” and “Great Political Wit, Laughing (Almost) All the Way to the White House.” Following the attacks of September 11, Dole joined forces with former rival President Bill Clinton to serve as Co-Chair of the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund, assisting the educational needs of the families of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Flight 93. In January 2003, he was appointed Honorary Co-Chair of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, part of President Bush's USA Freedom Corps.
