This is my first Thanksgiving without my dad. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him greatly, but not a day goes by that I don't thank God for blessing me with such a role model.

I am surprised that they did not happen in 2008 at the height of the financial collapse. We've known the root of this discontent for years, if not decades. It has to do with America's growing poverty and income inequality rates.

"Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss" from Psalm 85 epitomizes for me the life of Robert Sargent Shriver Jr.

Though I never met Sarge Shriver, I know he would have wanted us to use his passing away as a chance to propel the Peace Corps to greatness again.

Sarge Shriver was the Democratic Reagan. The first time I ever voted, I voted for Sarge Shriver. While I have voted in every election since, I have never voted for a better man.

When Sargent Shriver passed away on January 18 at age 95, we lost a man whose life's work improved the lives of millions of people around the world.

It may be hard to see the words of John Kennedy reflected in our current political debate today. But it's nice to see that the principles they espoused are hard at work across the globe.
George Mitrovich | Posted 05.25.2011
Sargent Shriver was one of the most attractive, dynamic, and accomplished men of his time. When President John F. Kennedy chose Mr. Shriver to create the Peace Corps in 1961, it was a brilliant choice.

While we mourn the loss of Sarge Shriver, we also celebrate his extraordinary life. And we should challenge ourselves, to do what Sarge did so inspirationally -- try to make a difference and bring more peace and justice to our world.

Let's show our gratitude to the living legacy of Sargent Shriver by motivating and organizing millions of new young people to register to vote and to take back responsibility in our communities.
Rep. Mike Honda | Posted 05.25.2011
America lost one of its shining lights this week. Sargent Shriver, an unfaltering beacon for peace and an indefatigable bastion against poverty, was a tireless bearer of burdens of those less fortunate.

Most people do not get to meet their heroes. I became friends with mine. Sargent Shriver inspired people around the world to believe in themselves and their capacities to solve tough problems.
Laurence Leamer | Posted 05.25.2011
Sargent Shriver was ninety-five and lived an incredibly rich and productive life, and much of my sadness today is about his greatest creation, the Peace Corps -- a great organization which has surely been neglected and lost its way.
Robert L. Cavnar | Posted 05.25.2011
This great generation of Kennedys and Shrivers served as an example to us all. Sarge was the last, and probably the most humble, but his life of quiet service shouted to us all.
Pat Waak | Posted 05.25.2011
Traveling with Sarge throughout his presidential campaign, I met numerous former volunteers and heard the stories of the early days of Peace Corps.
