Biden: Seven Years Ago Today Our Son Major Beau Biden Took His Last Breath at Walter Reed

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "Ladies and gentlemen, our First Lady, the love of my life Jill, Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman, Secretary Austin, General Milley, Joint Ciefs of Staff, cabinet members, Gold Star families, most importantly, and survivors, today we renew our sacred vow. It’s a simple vow to remember, to remember Memorial Day is always a day where pain and pride are mixed together. We all know it sitting here. Jill and I know it. Today’s the day our son died. And folks, for those who have lost a loved one in service to our country, it if your loved one is missing or unaccounted for, I know the ceremonies reopen that black hole in the center of your chest that just pulls you in, suffocates you. I said, seven years ago today our son Major Beau Biden took his last breath at Walter Reed.”
