Daniel Inouye dead at 88

[TJDave]

Regardless of how you feel about his politics, a genuine hero.

for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

didn't care for him as a politician, but Inouye always had my immense respect as a person and American hero. one with longevity too. I remember first learning about him in junior high social studies class, and that was many moons ago.

Agree with everything above. Good man.

Remember him as a panelist on the watergate hearings. I was a Dem then and thought he was awesome- still do. war hero and respectable person. RIP
