Speaking of Bob Dole, he was promoted to Colonel today by President Trump.
"President Donald Trump on April 8 signed into law a bill that authorizes the “honorary appointment” of former Republican Sen. Bob Dole from
captain to the grade of colonel, according to the White House.
The S. 252 bill passed the House of Representatives unanimously in March after it went through the Senate. The text of the legislation recognizes the
time Dole spent in the Army.
Dole, who was born July 22, 1923, in Russell, Kansas, enrolled in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps in 1942 when he was a student at the University of
Kansas. He was later called to active duty the following year and served during World War II.
Dole, now 95 years old, finished his military service with two Purple Hearts and two awards of the Bronze Star Medal with the “V” device for
valor, as well as a number of other awards."
