From the White House to the front lines of American need,
Senator Elizabeth Dole has dedicated her life to service

00:09.020 --> 00:15.640
A trailblazer in Washington, she broke barriers as the
first woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of Transportation

00:16.219 --> 00:28.640
making our roads safer and enforcing seatbelt laws that save lives. As Secretary of Labor, she
stood up for American workers, fighting for fairness, dignity, and opportunity in the workplace

00:28.640 --> 00:37.620
She then led the American Red Cross, guiding it through times of
crisis, cutting bureaucracy, and strengthening disaster relief

00:38.540 --> 00:46.140
In the U.S. Senate, she represented North Carolina with heart,
championing veterans, families, and those too often unheard

00:46.600 --> 00:54.340
But her most heartfelt mission began after public office,
born not of politics, but of love and lived experience

00:55.300 --> 01:01.060
Inspired by her husband, Bob Dole's recovery and
sacrifice, she founded the Elizabeth Dole Foundation

01:01.700 --> 01:07.440
shining a national spotlight on the 5.5 million
caregivers who support our wounded warriors

01:08.560 --> 01:13.740
Senator Elizabeth Dole was the first to
sound the alarm on this nationwide crisis

01:13.740 --> 01:19.340
She set out to transform America into a country
that not only supports those we send to war

01:19.640 --> 01:28.840
but those who forever care for them upon their return. We envision an America
where supporting military caregivers is not just the mission of our foundation

01:29.320 --> 01:34.540
It is the mission of our nation. Her
service became more than a legacy

01:35.100 --> 01:40.100
It became a living movement, one that will
uplift and endure for generations to come

01:40.940 --> 01:47.760
She didn't just make history. She changed
the future. For caregivers. For veterans

01:48.400 --> 01:54.940
For America. you
