Jason Kander is set to receive the Good Neighbor Award from the Truman Foundation next month. The Afghanistan veteran and former Missouri Secretary of State joins a group of honorees that includes Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, top journalists, humanitarians and even U.S. presidents.
On May 8, former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander will receive the Good Neighbor Award from the Truman Foundation, a prestigious honor that has been given to a number of high profile politicians, journalists and humanitarians over the decades.
Kander told KCUR's Up To Date that it's a surreal, humbling feeling.
"I've been to that event many times, and it's where I met President Clinton for the first time because he got the award," Kander says. "I don't feel particularly worthy of it, but, I'm grateful."

..."In operate under the assumption that pretty much everybody we encounter in our lives has dealt with some sort of mental health challenge at some point, or will," says Kander. "It makes me feel like, I want anybody in any public position, whether they be in a political role, a corporate leader, a nonprofit leader, whatever — I would prefer that they have dealt with their stuff."
