More than 1,000 guests, including former presidents and vice presidents from both parties, attended the service honoring Cheney's impact on national security and bipartisan respect.
- On Thursday, a memorial service for former Vice President Dick Cheney convened at Washington National Cathedral at 11 a.m. ET, excluding President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

- Among scheduled speakers are Liz Cheney, former Wyoming representative, and former President George W. Bush will deliver the eulogy; the service includes full military honors and more than 1,000 invited guests.

- Cheney's policy record includes central roles in the War on Terror and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and he later became a vocal critic of Donald Trump endorsing Kamala Harris, former Vice President and 2024 nominee.
