Former Presidents, VPs, Friends & Family Honor Dick Cheney At Funeral
2 weeks ago
Former U.S. leaders, lawmakers and other dignitaries gathered at Washington's National Cathedral to remember the powerful and divisive former vice president.
Guests included former Presidents Joe Biden and George W. Bush as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, who served as vice president in Trump's first term.
Cheney, a former Wyoming congressman and secretary of defense who was a driving force behind the U.S. invasion of Iraq as vice president in 2003, died at age 84 on November 3.
His daughter Liz Cheney remembered him as one who "knew the bonds of party must always yield to the single bond that we share as Americans. For him, a choice between defense of the Constitution and defense of your political party was no choice at all."
Flags at the White House have been flying at half staff.
