Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's friends and loved ones honored the life of the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during a funeral service Friday at Washington's National Cathedral. Powell, who was battling a rare blood cancer, died last month at 84 from complications related to COVID-19.
During the invitation-only service, Powell's son Michael Powell said the example of his father wasn't to emulate his resume, which he described as "too formidable for mere mortals," but to emulate his character.
"We can strive to do that," Michael Powell said. "We can choose to be good."
