Following his passing last week, Senator Edward M. Kennedy was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery this weekend, just a few hundred feet away from his brothers, President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The so-called "Lion of the Senate" died at age 77 from brain cancer.
Despite your views on politics, President Obama's speech remembering the late Senator is worth lending an ear to. The moving and tearful speech reminds us of what is truly important in life - treating each other well, with love and respect, to make the world a better place. He gave the eulogy in Boston on Friday, at a public funeral mass.
May he truly rest in peace. The public gravesite in Arlington, VA is now open to visitors.
