Selected by john mccain personally in the year since his diagnosis, including asking his good friend former Vice President joe biden to deliver one of todays eulogies. Their friendship reflected in their last public appearance together almost one year ago. I hope he has heard my profession of gratitude for him. It was always duty, honor, country. Thats john. John understands what it means to sacrifice for what you believe in. To put the greater good ahead of personal feelings. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. As friends and family in arizona and throughout the nation pause, pausing to remember the life and the legacy of John Sidney Mccain iii. Today the late senator will be honored at the only Public Service in his home state, the North Phoenix Baptist Church, where two dozen senators, including ten democrats, have also gathered. Tonight, as you see these live pictures of the hearse traveling through the State Capitol with a motorcycle escort. Tonight, that casket
The hymn going home of course from the bagpiper which is the navy hymn. Then the processional my way. This is so perfectly in tune with arizona. All of those elements. As we see cindy mccain. And the casket coming down the aisle. As john mccain said so memorably when he was accused in his first house race of being a carpetbagger. He said, well, the only place ive spent a longer amount of time is the hanoi hilton. That silenced all of the little bit hard to come back from that. End of that discussion. You may be seated. On behalf of the mccain family, thank you all so much for being here this morning. As we remember and celebrate the life of senator john mccain. A man loved by this church. A man loved by this nation and this city. A man of courage. A man of faith. A man who dearly loved his family. As we celebrate and get into the service, i want to offer you a word of scripture from the word of god. It comes from the book of 1 the thessalonians chapter 4 13. The word of god says this.
