VIDEO:  Biden Bids Farewell to his Beau
 
 
Sen. Joe Biden returned to Delaware less than a day after sparring with Gov. Palin at the Vice Presidential Debate - to see his son off to a much different battle abroad. Captain Joseph R. "Beau" Biden and 110 fellow soldiers of the 261st Signal Brigade of the Delaware National Guard were honored in a sendoff ceremony before being deployed to Iraq. Although Beau’s deployment received much public attention – Friday was less about politics than the pain of those saying goodbye to a soldier.
