Mr. Brokaw's successive accomplishments in broadcast journalism over the last 40 years, along with his more recent achievements in documentary reporting and authorship, have enlightened audiences, providing them with a unique perspective on our nation and its past, and stirring within them a passion about the historical events that have shaped our present day, ...

On behalf of Habitat for Humanity International, we thank Dave Matthews Band for this most generous and sustaining contribution.
