Speaking to the survivors of fallen U.S. military service members today at the 18th annual TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp in Arlington, Va., Joe Biden opened up about the intense grief and anger he experienced after after his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident almost 40 years ago. It’s an honest, tender and deeply personal moment from our Vice President that I hope we can all appreciate, regardless of our politics.
Personally, I thought it was very brave and touching of him to try to help those who are grieving by opening up and sharing his own grief with them a little bit (turn up the volume and lean in close to your speakers – I can’t find a louder copy of this video anywhere):

Requiescat in Pace Neilia and Naomi Biden and all of our fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, past and present, known and unknown (including military chaplains).
