Godspeed Senator.
The country will always be in your debt for your courage, your devotion to public service and the abiding grace with which you carried yourself.

McCain’s autobiography is a compelling read.

Could swear that I saw Dikembe and his wife leaving the services.

I was tearing up with Meghan during her tribute to her Dad. I especially liked her comment about not needing to make America great again, because it already was great.

Senator McCain was a dignified, graceful man. Sadly, his memorial was neither.

Senator McCain was a dignified, graceful man. Sadly, his memorial was neither. I saw about a minute of it en route to a football game but was genuinely impressed by people on the both sides of the aisle attending, including the likes of Kissinger, Cheyney and Gore. Respect was paid to a man who earned it many times over. In hindsight, it was best that the President did not attend. He would have sat there with his arms folded for two hours, because it was not all about him.

The fact that some of the speakers felt compelled to make political hit speeches was not. It was beneath the man they sought to honor.

Was Megan McCain's speech beneath the man they sought to honor? I find it hard to believe the speeches delivered were given without the consent of the man who asked them to speak. I think it makes sense that he knew what kind of message he wanted to be delivered and so he asked those people to speak rather than they went rogue. I thought they did a good job of honoring what McCain stood for in his life, it just happens to be the opposite of Trump in most ways.
