Former Sen. Bob Dole will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, and President Joe Biden will deliver remarks as the nation honors the statesman.
Former Sen. Bob Dole -- a decorated World War II veteran and presidential candidate who served in Congress for 36 years -- lay in state at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday as the nation honored the late American statesman.
Dole died Sunday in his sleep at the age of 98.
Dole's longtime wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Robin, were escorted by service members and alongside lawmakers for the formal arrival of Dole's casket ahead of a congressional tribute ceremony at 10 a.m. including remarks from President Joe Biden, who worked alongside Dole in the Senate for more than 20 years and called him "a man of extraordinary courage, both physical and moral courage."
The Capitol ceremony began with an invocation by House Chaplain who said Dole has "revealed to us what moral and faithful service should be."
