Why John McCain Chose His Final Resting Place

John McCain was laid to rest Sunday at the cemetery at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., a choice the AP called "as deliberate as the other details of his procession." Instead of spending eternity in Arlington Cemetery where his admiral father and grandfather are buried, the war hero and political maverick chose a plot beside his former classmate and dear friend Admiral Chuck Larson. In his memoir, McCain wrote that he wanted it to end “near where it began.” Per Reuters, the private service near where McCain and Larson graduated in the class of 1958 was slated to include classmates, McCain's sons Jack and Don, retired Army General David Petraeus, and McCain's longtime political ally Senator Lindsey Graham.
