WASHINGTON — The nation's most powerful Democrats for the past quarter-century, world leaders, friends and family of Madeleine Albright celebrated the life Wednesday of the nation's first woman secretary of state, who arrived in the U.S. as a young girl from war-torn Czechoslovakia before becoming a trailblazing diplomat and icon.

"In the 20th and 21st century, freedom had no greater champion than Madeleine Korbel Albright," said President Joe Biden, eulogizing Albright at her funeral at Washington National Cathedral. He called Albright a "force of nature" who through "goodness, grace and humanity turned the tide of history."

Albright died March 23 at 84 years old after a fight with cancer, leaving a legacy as a defender of democracy, human rights and peace whose whose journey from war-torn Europe embodied the American story.

"Madeline understood her story was America's story," Biden said. "She loved to speak about America as the indispensable nation to her. The phrase was never a statement of arrogance was about It was about gratitude for all this country made possible for her."

Biden eulogizes Madeleine Albright: 'She turned the tide of history'

President Joe Biden on Wednesday eulogized Madeleine Albright, describing the first female US secretary of state as a "force of nature" and a champion of democracy.

"With her goodness and grace, her humanity and her intellect, she turned the tide of history," Biden said during the funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral.

1. I recorded the service and so far I watched Biden, Clinton and Hillary.

Biden and Clinton did great tributes, even though Bill’s was a bit long. However, I don’t know what he could have cut. Hillary’s remembrance was terrific. The crowd applauded once during the speech and again after. She stressed MA’s impact on women.

I heard the daughters were impressive and I’ll watch them tomorrow. All speakers addressed MA’s belief concerning the fragility of a democracy and the needed vigilance to maintain it. McConnell was in the first row. I hope he takes their words to heart.
