Quoting her late husband, Victoria Reggie Kennedy says Kerry “understands that America’s strength comes from the power of our ideas.”

Kerry says the award is an honor “because of the vision and determination of Vicki and Ted’s entire family who carry that commitment forward.”

Former President Barack Obama said in a letter read at the event that Kerry made the U.S. more respected worldwide.

On the website of the Edward Kennedy Institute, there are two wonderful videos - one they put together on Kerry, the other a testimonial from Joe Biden. The first video includes comments from many people, including Vanessa Kerry, Vicki Kennedy, and people like Howard Baker. Interesting how many speak of moral and persistent.
