COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of well-wishers applauded World War II veterans George H.W. Bush and Bob Dole during a patriotic Texas ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.

The ex-president, who’s 92, and the 93-year-old former Kansas senator attended Wednesday’s event at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station.

Bush and Dole, both using wheelchairs, waved to the crowd that welcomed them during ceremonies at the complex on the Texas A&M campus. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath says the commemoration, attended by about 800 people, included flyovers by vintage WWII planes.

Dole received the George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service. Dole says working with Bush to get the Americans with Disabilities Act passed in 1990 was one of his proudest public service moments.
