American Senator John McCain will be buried at the U.S. Naval Academy where he began his military service more than 60 years ago. The former Navy pilot, prisoner of war, congressman, presidential candidate and senator died at the age of 81 after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. A private burial service on Saturday will bring to a close nearly a week of events to honor McCain. McCain will lie in state Wednesday at the Capitol building of his home state Arizona. A funeral will be held Thursday. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will speak at the service. On Friday, McCain will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol, where the public can pay their respects. On Saturday, his body will pass the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and arrive for a funeral at the Washington National Cathedral. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the two men who defeated McCain in his campaigns for the presidency, are expected to speak at the service.
