"Ambassador Tony Hall is a dedicated public servant who has earned our deepest respect. As a Congressman, Ambassador, and individual, he is an inspiration to those of us who believe in protecting life at all stages. His advocacy for the unborn, the hungry, victims of human rights abuses and other life issues is heroic. That's why we're honored to be giving this award to him next week," said Kristen Day, Executive Director of Democrats For Life of America.
