Washington — Sen. Lindsey Graham is being remembered in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, with an afternoon funeral at the National Cathedral and an arrival ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in the morning. President Trump will deliver his eulogy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are also expected to attend Graham's funeral.
Graham, a four-term senator known for his close relationship to the president and his hawkishness on foreign policy, was a key player in a number of major bipartisan agreements before his death on July 11. He had just returned from a trip to Ukraine, where he visited Zelenskyy and told him of plans for new U.S. sanctions and tariffs against Russia.
A medical examiner determined Graham's cause of death was an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He was 71.
The services began with the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, where Graham's remains were carried by an Armed Forces Body Bearer team to honor his Air Force service, followed by a U.S. Capitol Police memorial guard in a nod to his tenure in the Senate. The ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda is closed to the public.

... must not speak badly of the dead ...
Sen. Thune and Biggs spoke greatly
“A medical examiner determined Graham’s cause of death was an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He was 71.” It’s been said only the good die young.
iS THE FLAG PRESSED OR WRINKLED?
I was wondering the same. It sure doesn’t look like the 4 that came back from the Middle East!
Were is that Mitch guy? I wonder if he will attend, or if he is too busy at Bernies
Seemingly……
Whatever else we may have had against Lindsay in his Senatorial career, it has to be said that in the funeral, he had truly died well. The proclamation of the Gospel hovers thick about all that is being done in the National Cathedral, more than I ever would have thought possible. Thank you Lord, for shining Your light in what has been a dark place.
