The death of Senator John McCain, former U.S Presidential aspirate is no longer a news, However, the tributes, farewell messages that poured from U.S and the world at large to the family, according to the daughter is a clear indication that He served his Fatherland with his blood and life.
The speech of former President, Barrack Obama is what the World may not forget in a hurry, He discripes him to be a "dependable figure in the history of US and politic."
Late United States Sen. John McCain has been buried, just as he wished and planned before his death. He was laid to rest at a private ceremony at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The burial on Sunday climaxed the week of tributes from the two sides of political divide. McCain, who retired from the U.S. Navy at the rank of captain, was buried in a plot of land next to his Naval Academy classmate and lifelong friend Adm. Chuck Larson, who died of leukemia in 2014.
According to The Hill, mourners and the senator’s family walked behind a horse-drawn caisson carrying his casket from the Naval Academy chapel to the cemetery after the ceremony. Students from McCain’s 1958 graduating class also joined.
McCain’s son Jack McCain, Gen. David Petraeus and Sen. Lindsey Graham delivered remarks at the private ceremony. Graham said before the service that he wanted to talk about how “nobody loved a soldier more than John McCain, that I bear witness to his commitment to have their back, travel where they go, never let them be forgotten,” according to the news service.
Dozens of political power players from both parties gathered for a memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral on Sunday. Multiple speakers at the event made subtle swipes and references to Trump and the decline of civility in U.S. politics.
