Brokaw, founded the town of Bristol, S Dakota, and the Brokaw House, a modest hotel and the starting time structure in Bristol.^[13]

Brokaw's father was a construction foreman for the Army Corps of Engineers. He worked at the Black Hills Ordnance Depot (BHOD) and helped construct Fort Randall Dam; his job often required the family to resettle throughout South Dakota during Brokaw's early childhood.^[14] The Brokaws lived for short periods in Bristol, Igloo (the small residential customs of the BHOD), and Pickstown, before settling in Yankton, where Brokaw attended high school.^{[11] [14]}

For several years, Brokaw mountain-climbed with the "Practise Boys," whose members included Yvon Chouinard and Douglas Tompkins.^{[18] [19]} He owned a 53-acre home in Pound Ridge, New York, for over two decades.^{[20] [21]}

In 1996 Brokaw made the following statement about Richard Jewell'south suspected involvement in the 1996 Olympic Park bombing, after which Jewell sued NBC News:

The speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have plenty to arrest [Jewell] right now, probably plenty to prosecute him, but you always desire to have enough to convict him likewise. There are still some holes in this case.

Even though NBC stood by its story, the network agreed to pay Jewell $500,000.

On September 11, 2001, Brokaw joined Katie Couric and Matt Lauer effectually 9:30 a.k., following the live assault on the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and continued to ballast all day, until after midnight.

On those occasions, I was grateful for your abstinence and always mindful that your patience and attending didn't come with a lifetime warranty.

I was not alone here, of course. I am simply the most conspicuous role of a big, thoroughly dedicated and professional staff that extends from just beyond these cameras, across the state, and around the world. In likewise many instances, in places of grave danger and personal hardship and they're family to me.

What accept I learned here? More than we have time to recount this evening, just the enduring lessons through the decades are these: it'south non the questions that get u.s.a. in trouble, it's the answers. And just as important, no one person has all the answers.

Just enquire a member of the generation that I came to know well, the men and women who came of age in the Great Depression who had bang-up personal sacrifice, saved the earth during World State of war II and returned home to dedicate their lives to improving the nation they had already served and so nobly. They weren't perfect, no generation is, just this one left a large and vital legacy of common endeavour to notice mutual ground here and abroad in which to solve our most vexing issues. They did not give up their personal beliefs and greatest passions, but they never stopped learning from each other and virtually of all, they did not give up on the idea that we're all in this together, nosotros still are.

And it is in that spirit that I say, thanks, for all that I accept learned from you lot. That's been my richest reward.
