Former U.S. Senator Robert Joseph “Bob” Dole,  who served in the Army with distinction during World War II, died Sunday, Dec. 5.  He was 98. 

As a mark of solemn respect for Bob Dole, who he called “a statesman like few in our history and a war hero among the greatest of the Greatest Generation,” President Biden has ordered all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset Thursday, Dec. 9. Publix support locations will lower all flags to half-staff.
