After a national memorial service yesterday celebrating the life of Sen. John McCain at Washington National Cathedral, a small private funeral and burial service for the Vietnam War hero, former GOP presidential nominee and statesman will be held today at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.
His son Jack, a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, and graduate of the United States Naval Academy, will lead the tributes to his father, which will also include remarks from Sen. Lindsay Graham and General David Petraeus.
McCain will be buried at the U.S. Naval Academy Cemetery overlooking the Severn River. McCain had earlier picked out a plot in the cemetery next to the burial site of his Academy classmate and lifelong friend Chuck Larson, who died in 2014.
The 1958 classmates were known as the “odd couple” with McCain earning demerits for breaking rules, which left him near the bottom of his class, while Larson graduated at the top of the class, was the second-youngest admiral in U.S. history, and twice served as the superintendent of the Naval Academy.
McCain’s father and grandfather, both admirals, are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Sunday’s services at the academy will be closed to the public and the media at the request of the McCain family.
Here is the official program for Sen. John McCain’s final goodbye:
Hymn, “Amazing Grace” led by U.S. Navy Choir
