 Lindsey Graham Gets Choked ...

01:33

When Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) celebrated

his retirement from the Air National Guard last week after 33 years of
military service, he was greeted at the ceremony by an unexpected guest:
Vice President Joe Biden.

Though they hail from opposing parties, Graham and Biden have long had a close
friendship

going back to their years serving together in the Senate. The South
Carolina senator and 2016 Republican presidential candidate was
particularly touched that the vice president attended his military sendoff.

Over the weekend, The Huffington Post spent a day with Graham on the
campaign trail in Iowa for the latest installment of our original series, ’16
And President

We’ll have the full episode up next week, but the above clip is a short
preview of what's to come.

In the video, Graham becomes emotional when talking about how the vice
president has dealt with the recent death of his son, Beau Biden.

Biden and Graham have been struck by multiple personal tragedies in their
lives: Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car accident shortly after he
was first elected to the Senate, while Graham's parents both died when he
was in college. Graham's heartfelt words reflect an enduring bond between
the two men that has been shaped, in part, by their shared heartbreak.
