The Creed he lived by – v2

The Creed he lived by
repeated, repeated,
being part of something,
greater than himself…
 
Plunged into service,
into love, sacrifice,
conscious of his flaws,
giving of himself…
 
The Creed he lived by
part of America,
The Dream, the vision,
of who we are as a people…
 
The Creed he lived by
repeated, repeated,
being part of something,
greater than himself…

“Make no mistake: the applause ringing out at the Cathedral when
Meghan McCain says 'America has no need to be made great again
because America was always great' is not standard.
Never heard applause at a funeral here before.”
&
emblematic of the escalating rhetoric between
President Donald J. Trump and John McCain
since the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries
and continuing after Senator McCain’s death
