Ted Kennedy has lost a battle

[MsUp]

But he won the war.
Senator Ted Kennedy has passed away, after 5 decades of public service. Sometimes made very poor decisions, was in trouble with the law, and was a skirt chaser in his youth. But he watched bullets take down 2 of his brothers, plane crashes and illness, take other close family members. Whether you believed in his brand of politics, or disagreed completely, he showed great courage in his life, always fighting for the people of his state & his country, he made a big difference for so many.
Some of us will miss him.
RIP Teddy

He was far from "perfect," but no farther perhaps than any of us is. I will miss him greatly.

Claudia,

very nicely put.
Like him or not, he and his family have done a lot for this country. It is the end of an era in a way..sadly...

Well written. "Let he who is without sin...." etc.

He definitely made his mark on the Senate, and on this country. He wrote a staggering amount of legislation and that is his legacy.

RIP Ted
