He represented the highest ideal of public service. “Having served for more than forty years, including as Missouri’s youngest ever Governor and later as United States Senator, Kit’s impact can be felt all over Missouri and across America. “Through various roles, Senator Bond prioritized improving care for our nation’s veterans, providing support for a strong and well-equipped U.S. military, and delivering for the residents of his beloved Missouri. “We’re proud to continue his legacy of service on the Appropriations Committee today. “It brings me hope to know Kit now rests with his heavenly father, and we are eternally grateful for his lifetime of service.” ### |
