Biden gives emotional speech to families of slain soldiers

Vice President Joe Biden may not be the person you often turn to for tearjerker video, but we were struck by how incredibly honest and raw his remarks were yesterday to a gathering of Gold Star Military Families — those families of soldiers slain in America’s wars. Biden admitted, with an occasional tremor in his voice, that the deaths of his wife and daughter in 1978 made him understand how a person could “consciously decide to commit suicide,” and urged the families assembled to take care of one another. source
