Bob Dole, a former Senate majority leader and the last World War II veteran to be a major party's presidential nominee, is being honored in a funeral at the National Cathedral on Friday. Dole died Sunday at the age of 98.
President Joe Biden will join other national leaders and Dole's family at the funeral at the National Cathedral. Only invited guests will attend the service, but it will be broadcast to the public.
Following the ceremony, Dole's casket will be transferred to the national World War II Memorial on the National Lawn for a public ceremony honoring his life and service. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, Tom Hanks and Savannah Guthrie will speak, and Elizabeth Dole will lay a wreath in her husband's honor.
