U.S. Senate honors Bud Grant as national hero

On Sunday, the Vikings hosted a memorial for legendary head coach Bud Grant at U.S. Bank Stadium with various people sharing their memories of him. Grant died March 11 at the age of 95.

One of the more special moments of the memorial was U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar presenting Bud’s son Mike Grant with a plaque of the congressional record honoring his achievements with the Vikings.

The quote of the day came from Mike Grant as Klobuchar presented the certificate.

“My dad would have looked at this and said, ‘How much could I get at the garage sale for it?'”

There was never anyone quite like Grant.
