In the tradition of our nation's first ambassador, Benjamin Franklin, Vice President Cheney is one of our greatest ambassadors. Like Franklin, Dick Cheney will never be president, however. His wife, Lynne, has made it clear that 40 years of public service is enough. She clearly is looking forward to the day they retire. So we on the Dose will continue to salute him for his quiet, dignified, and invaluable service to his country. And when the day comes, we will send them both into retirement with loving, grateful hearts.
Children with homemade signs wait to greet the Vice President.
