McCain, who retired from the U.S. Navy at the rank of captain, was laid to rest on a plot of land next to his Naval Academy classmate and lifelong friend Adm. Chuck Larson, who died of leukemia in 2014.
McCain’s son Jack McCain, Gen. David Petraeus and Sen. Lindsey Graham delivered remarks at the private ceremony. Graham said before the service that he wanted to talk about how "nobody loved a soldier more than John McCain, that I bear witness to his commitment to have their back, travel where they go, never let them be forgotten."
Former U.S president, Barack Obama and dozens of political power players from both parties gathered for the memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral as most speakers at the event couldn't help but throw some shades at president Trump.
