"My name is Joe Biden. I'm a Democrat. And I love John McCain."
Biden says he always thought of John McCain as a brother: “We go back a long way”
“I pray that you take some comfort, knowing that because you shared John with all of us your whole life, the world now shares with you the ache of John’s death. Look around this magnificent church," Biden says
“John came from another age, that lived by another code. An ancient, antiquated code where honor, courage, character, integrity, duty, where it mattered,” Joe Biden remembers his friend John McCain
“‘We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed by their creator, with certain unalienable rights.’ To John, those words had meaning,” Biden says, quoting the Declaration of Independence at the memorial service for Sen. John McCain
Biden recalls serving in the Senate with McCain, telling a story about the Democratic caucus leader telling him, “Joe, it doesn’t look good you sitting next to John all the time”
