Generations of dignitaries, including three U.S. presidents and many members of Congress, gathered Wednesday to remember the late Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who died last month at age 84.
President Joe Biden said in remarks at Washington National Cathedral that he learned of Albright’s passing while he was en route to Europe to reaffirm the NATO alliance in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It was not lost on him, Biden said, that the former secretary “was a big part of the reason NATO was still strong and galvanized as it is today.”
