Statement on the Passing of Senator Bob Dole
The loss of Honor Flight Network’s long time Ambassador, Senator Bob Dole is felt by our hubs, volunteers, and veterans across the country. The Honor Flight Network rose to new heights with Senator Dole’s continual support and efforts to honor his fellow WWII veterans, and all veterans who have served and are currently serving. Senator Robert Joseph Dole was a leader and longtime supporter of the Honor Flight Network whose mission is to honor our veterans by transporting America’s veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
He and his wife, Elizabeth Dole, spent every Saturday possible during the Honor Flight flying season at the entrance of the WWII Memorial. They would greet veterans and guardians, taking countless photos enhancing our honored veterans’ Honor Flight visit to our nation’s capital.
Not only was Senator Dole a supporter of our veterans, but he also played an important role in raising donations for the building of the WWII Memorial on the Washington Mall. Professionally and personally, Senator Dole was always thinking of others and prioritizing the needs of others before himself. He will be missed.
God bless you Senator Robert Joseph Dole.

The mission of Honor Flight is to transport America’s veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
The Honor Flight Network is a national network of independent Hubs working together to honor our nation’s veterans with an all-expenses paid trip to the memorials in Washington, D.C., a trip many of our veterans may not otherwise be able to take. Participation in an Honor Flight trip gives veterans the chance to share this momentous trip with other veterans, to remember friends and comrades lost, and share their stories and experiences with each other.
The Honor Flight Network is currently serving veterans who served from World War II to the Korean War and through to Vietnam. We also serve catastrophically ill and injured veterans from all service eras.
To participate in an Honor Flight trip, please contact your nearest regional Honor Flight hub.
A listing of all active Hubs can be found HERE.
