"I'm not going to be a Vice President who just goes to funerals."

"I have seen him summon the strength and resolve to protect the lives of Americans while never forgetting the values and principles that make us who we are."

"We need to continue to invest in research and development to drive innovation and progress in science and technology."

"the vice president of the United States, Joe Biden, we have learn, will attend funeral services for one of the two fallen officers."
