Wow. That was so moving. I guess McCain was of Irish stock...I guess he would be... "McCain."

I was skeptical when I saw the accordion sit with the strings, but it was simply lovely.

This is the only time I saw Cindy McCain become emotional. She really held it together.
Meghan's a crier, though. Has her father's emotional bent.

Heartbreaking at the loss of John McCain. Songs that mark his heritage. Eulogies that say so much indirectly. 45 was not invited to this funeral, and he was not at the funeral for Barbara Bush. Does anyone see a trend here?
