President Biden on Sunday remembered his late son, Beau Biden, during remarks ahead of Memorial Day.
Biden in a speech at an annual Memorial Day service at Veterans Memorial Park in New Castle, Del., shared that Sunday marks the sixth anniversary of Beau Biden’s death. The president’s eldest son, who served as a major in the Delaware Army National Guard, died of an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2015.
“Beau didn’t die in the line of duty, but he was serving a Delaware National Guard unit in Iraq for a year,” Biden said. “That was one of the proudest things he did in his life.”
“So, thank you for allowing us to grieve together today. I know how much the loss hurts. I know the black hole that it leaves in the middle of your chest, that feels like you may get sucked into it and not come out.”
