DAYTON, Ohio — Former President Bill Clinton arrived here Wednesday to accept the Dayton Peace Prize for his efforts in Bosnia.

        “I'm glad to be here,” said Mr. Clinton as he walked into the United States Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where the Dayton Peace Accords that brought an end to the war in Bosnia were reached nearly six years ago.

        More than 400 people, including the ambassadors of Bosnia and Croatia, attended the museum dinner and ceremony in the shadow of U.S military planes to honor the former president, who left office in January after two terms.

        Dayton Mayor Mike Turner told Mr. Clinton his attendance underscores the importance of the accords.

        “You acted and committed U.S. troops to protecting the peace,” Mr. Turner said. “It was a daring move. It was a brave act undertaken for the sole purpose of it was the right thing to do.”

        Scheduling conflicts kept Mr. Clinton from personally accepting the award last fall. He was in Vietnam when the prize was announced in November.
