Serving in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime.

Serving in Congress has been more than an honor; it has been one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life... It has been a wonderful ride. It has been a wonderful journey.
I can honestly say that being a United States Senator has been the honor of my life.
The Eleanor Roosevelt Award that I received for women's rights activities is one I treasure.
It's an amazing thing to hear they're finally giving out a Medal of Honor to a soldier from the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
