REMEMBERING McCAIN: Sen. John McCain will be buried on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis in a private service on Sunday, after a week in which he will be honored in his home state of Arizona and in a memorial service at the National Cathedral in Washington. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama will be among those delivering the eulogies. Here are the plans for the week:

Wednesday: McCain’s body will lie in state in Phoenix, on what would have been his 82nd birthday, according to a tweet from the governor yesterday. “Senator #JohnMcCain will lie in state here at the Arizona Capitol this Wednesday — his birthday. This is a rare and distinct occurrence for a truly special man. John McCain is Arizona, and we will honor his life every way we can,” said Gov. Doug Ducey.
