Ambassador Bushnell’s Hard Hat
Kenya 1998
When the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi was attacked by a truck bomb in August 1998, U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Prudence Bushnell was present in a neighboring building and injured by the blast. Ambassador Bushnell returned to inspect the damaged embassy the next day. Her staff presented this hard hat for her to wear; they had added “AMBASSADOR” and a Great Seal sticker to the front.
