Daniel Inouye honored in Capitol Rotunda - Scott Wong - POLITICO.com: "Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye joined a rarefied group of Americans on Thursday, becoming just the 32nd person in the country’s history to be given the honor upon their death of lying in the Capitol Rotunda. Vice President Joe Biden, Cabinet members, lawmakers and dozens of tearful staffers bid a final “Aloha” to Inouye during a solemn ceremony in the stately Rotunda. It was the same space where a freshman senator from Hawaii stood under the dome nearly 50 years ago and listened to the “shuffling of feet” as people quietly paid their respects to a fallen president, John F. Kennedy." 'via Blog this'
