On Friday, December 10, we invite the public to join us in celebrating
Senator Bob Dole, a distinguished leader who devoted his life to serving
the country he loved. As a friend, partner, and member of the Elizabeth
Dole Foundation family, we would appreciate your help spreading the word
about the Robert J. Dole Celebration of Life this Friday at the WWII
Memorial.
Beginning with his service in World War II, Senator Dole dedicated his
life to our nation and its people. He loved America, so we believe it is
fitting that every American should have the opportunity to celebrate his
distinguished legacy.
Join us for this special event with Gen. Mark A. Milley, 20th Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Tom Hanks, Savannah Guthrie, the U.S. Army
Band, and others. The WWII Memorial held profound meaning to Senator
Dole, who championed the Memorial’s establishment in honor of all who
served.
