The late senator John McCain was buried Sunday in a private ceremony at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, bringing to a close five days of events honoring the late Arizona Republican. McCain, who died Aug. 25 of brain cancer at age 81, was the son and grandson of four-star admirals and a 1958 graduate of the Naval Academy. The private memorial service was attended by McCain’s family, close friends, former classmates and military leaders. After the ceremony, McCain was laid to rest next to his Naval Academy classmate and friend Adm. Charles R. Larson.
