Donald Trump arrived at Billy Graham’s funeral in North Carolina Friday, where he was escorted by a very special member of the Graham family.
As POTUS walked to the tent where Graham’s family and dignitaries were gathered, he was met halfway by a uniformed Army Major. The two saluted each other and the Major escorted the first and second families to their seats.
What many watching may not know is the identity of that man. He is Billy Graham’s grandson, Edward. Edward graduated from West Point and served seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he was once injured by shrapnel from an IED.
Graham escorted the family and left Trump at his chair with a salute.
Graham was also in Washington, DC, for his grandfather’s service at the United States Capitol. Graham stood for hours, shaking the hands of all of those who were there to pay honor to Billy Graham.
Edward’s father, Franklin Graham, told The Daily Caller, “These people stood outside for us and for my father.” He continued, “I will stand here for them. We love them and so does God.”
HUP! HUP! HUP!
Rangers lead the way. Sua Sponte.
Edward looks SO much like his Dad, if not for the uniform, I’d have trouble telling them apart.
Wonderful post - thanks for sharing this with all of us...
Look at him next to the President.
What class at West Point was Edward?
RLTW
For those that do not know, the Tan Beret is worn by the Ranger Regiment.
Fully deserved.
Not everyone cares to feed the media.
She definitely was not feeding the media.
That’s a dandy question. I found lots of stuff regarding his tours of the ME, and the funeral of his Grandfather, but nothing regarding his class at West Point. If I do find out, I’ll tell you. You do the same, please. Thanks.
Notice that President Trump cares enough to render the salute properly - so many things I love about that man.
