Opinion: Veteran and former senator Max Cleland has died, but his legacy lives on
NPR's Scott Simon marks the passing of Max Cleland, who was a U.S. Army captain and senator from Georgia.
Max Cleland wore a Mickey Mouse watch to remind himself, he said, "not to take life too seriously." It was advice from a man who had received the Bronze and Silver Stars for valor as a young U.S. Army captain during the Vietnam War.
