(WASHINGTON) — The memorial service for John McCain is underway at the Washington National Cathedral, where the late Republican senator is getting a presidential farewell, but not from the actual sitting president. Three former presidents, scores of members of Congress, current and former world leaders and family and friends have gathered Saturday morning to eulogize McCain as an American hero.
