Bush and Barack Obama – will speak at the event, per Time. Current president Donald Trump will not attend the event
"John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics," Barack Obama said in his statement about John's death
"But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher-the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed…Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did
But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John's best, he showed us what that means
And for that, we are all in his debt." Senator McCain's body lied in state at the United States Capitol on Aug
31, allowing members of the public to come and pay their respects. House speaker Paul Ryan, Senator Majority leader Mitch McConnell, Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Minority Leader Chuck Shumer were scheduled to present wreaths for the longtime senator
John became just the 13 th senator to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, an honor reserved for America's "most eminent citizens
" John, who served two decades in the U.S. Navy, will be buried in Anapolis, MD at the U
S. Naval Academy Cementary. His grave will overlook the Severn River, and he will be interned next to his old friend, Adm
Chuck Larson.
