## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in American politics and a decorated Air Force veteran, has died at 71, leaving behind a legacy of bold leadership, dealmaking, and unwavering defense of national security. From his humble roots in South Carolina to his rise as a Senate powerhouse and Trump ally, Graham’s career mirrored the shifting tides of the GOP. Tributes poured in from across the nation, with VP JD Vance calling him a “true American original.” His final journey began in Washington with a Capitol ceremony and a cathedral funeral, followed by a heartfelt homecoming in South Carolina, complete with an F-16 flyover and a private burial in his beloved county.
