Sen. Marshall Hosts Wreath Laying Ceremony at WWII Memorial to Honor Bob Dole

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. hosted a wreath laying ceremony at the World War II Memorial to honor and pay respects to fellow Kansan and American statesman, Senator Bob Dole. Senator Marshall brought together the entire Kansas Congressional Delegation: Senator Jerry Moran, Representatives Tracey Mann, Jake LaTurner, Sharice Davids, and Ron Estes; former Senator Pat Roberts; and former Representative Kevin Yoder.

Following the wreath laying ceremony, Senator Marshall said, "This was really a moment where we could stop and honor one of the heroes from our greatest generation -- Senator Bob Dole. He was an American hero, a statesman of the highest order, and one of the greatest legislators of all time. First and foremost he was a Kansan and I was humbled to join forces with Kansas leaders today to pay tribute to a man who always put service above self and was profoundly dedicated to bettering the lives of all those in our great state."
