Senator
(November
7, 1962 - August 25, 2009) The most favor and polically powerful United States Senator from Massachusetts, Edward Moore Kennedy, who is called "Ted" and a member of the Democratic Party, and served Service/branch United States Army Years of service 1951–1953, died in August 25, 2009. According to the Mobile Reuters by Scott Malone's report, Kennedy family stated early Wednesday that "Edward M. Kennedy, the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply, died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis Port (Messachusetts)." US Senator Edward M. Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, his doctors said Tuesday, on May 19th, 2009, and the prognosis appears uncertain at best for the last surviving brother of the famed Kennedy clan, who has been an enormous force in American politics for nearly half a century. The announcement was made three days after Kennedy, 76, was stricken at the family’s Hyannis Port compound. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted a battery of tests, including a biopsy, and identified a cancerous mass on the top left portion of his brain as the cause of his seizure. Unable eight days later to deliver the commencement address to his stepdaughter and her classmates at Wesleyan University, Kennedy asked President Obama to speak in his place. "It is rare in this country of ours that a person exists who has touched the lives of nearly every single American without any of us even realizing it," President Obama told the graduates. "And I have a feeling that Ted Kennedy is not done just yet." Senator Kennedy returned to the Capitol in July 2008 to cast the tie-breaking vote on a Medicare bill. The next month, Kennedy cast side concerns from doctors about exposure to crowds and made a surprise, 7-minute speech for President Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. "The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on," he said, repeating lines Shrum wrote for him in 1980. Senator Kennedy served nine terms in the Senate. At the time of his death, he was the second most senior member of the Senate, after Robert Byrd of West Virginia, and the third-longest-serving senator in U.S. history.

Massachusetts Senator Kennedy has helped many cases for funding medical and other scientific research, infrastructure, historic preservation, and aid for the state’s older cities. During President Bush’s administration, Kennedy was an early and consistent critic of the Iraq war, but also an important ally who helped the former President Bush win passage of No Child Left Behind, the education law that was a signature achievement early in the former President Bush’s first term. Senator Kennedy could not attend the Aug. 12 ceremony, which occurred the day after his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, died. President Obama made the award to the senator's daughter, Kara. "The life of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has made a difference for us all," the president Obama said. Senator
