Relatives remember him as a great man who raised his children and grandchildren in the spirit of love for the homeland and the values of courage and kindness. "We are immensely grateful for all that he did for our country," they added.
Dick Cheney.
Cheney was known as a staunch conservative and became one of the most controversial figures in U.S. politics. During the administration of George H.W. Bush, he served as Secretary of Defense and oversaw military operations during the Gulf War. Later, under President George W. Bush, he became Vice President and was actively involved in making key decisions, particularly in the area of national security.
He also advocated for military intervention in Iraq and supported surveillance and detention measures implemented after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Despite health issues, Cheney continued to influence the political arena and even underwent a heart transplant after leaving the administration.
In recent years, he faced criticism from President Donald Trump, especially in light of his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney's, public opposition to the leadership of the Republican Party.
