The funeral service for former Secretary of State Colin Powell is being held 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.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden are expected to attend the service. Cathedral officials said in a statement that numerous military and congressional leaders are also expected to be in attendance.
Following news of Powell's death October 18, Mr. Biden called him "a dear friend and a patriot," a great military leader and "a man of overwhelming decency."
