As Joe Biden is inaugurated, a uniformed man kneels silently at the grave of his son Beau

WILMINGTON, Del. – While Joe Biden gave his inauguration speech on Wednesday afternoon, a lone man in a blue uniform kneeled at the grave of Biden’s son Beau Biden at St. Joseph on the Brandywine church in Greenville, Delaware.

The man kept his head bowed before and after the speech and clasped his hands. He said nothing. No one else was in the cemetery on the cold, windy afternoon except for a few workers doing some outside maintenance on the property off Kennett Pike.

from this brain tumor. I am thankful for the man that did this while Pres. Biden was speaking.

Maybe they can take lessons from that man, whoever he is (if he prefers privacy, I am all for that). He was not there taking selfies or loudly detailing his “rights”, he was there simply to honor a fellow soldier, a soldier who would have been proud of what was happening in Washington DC if he was alive.
