The rotunda where he now sits immortalised in </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">bronze, and looking a little perplexed, was renamed the Freedom Foyer for the occasion. </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">John Kerry, the Secretary of State, listened as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=701507216544199" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Boehner</a>, the leader of the <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/michael.grove.98/posts/702845786410342" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a></strong>, </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">gave <em><strong>a passionate speech of dedication</strong></em>.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">“<strong><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/what-america-is-and-what" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ladies and gentlemen</a></strong>,” said Mr Boehner, “<em>this is one of history’s true love stories</em>. <strong>Between a </strong></span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>great statesman and a nation he called '<a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/two-nations-divided-by-the" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Great Republic</a>.</strong>’ ” The famously sentimental </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Republican wiped tears from his eyes as the crowd listened to a recording of Churchill addressing </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Congress following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Afterwards, Roger Daltrey of <strong><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/another-brick-in-the-wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Who</a></strong></span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">s sang <strong>Stand by Me</strong> – a tribute, Mr Boehner said, to “<em><strong>the best friend the United States ever had </strong></em>”.</span></p>

<div class="secondPar"><p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>All in all, it was a very American ceremony to celebrate the life of a very British icon.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>So why do our transatlantic friends love a foreign former prime minister so much?</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="thirdPar"><p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">That love is undeniable and deep. In 1954, <strong><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/why-we-fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Dwight Eisenhower</a> </strong>said that Churchill</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">“<em><strong>comes closest to fulfilling the requirement of greatness of any individual that I have met</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><em><strong>in </strong></em><em><strong>my lifetime</strong></em>”. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, President George W Bush invoked</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Churchill’s name when pressing the case for the War on Terror, and was rumoured to have been</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">given a private lecture by Martin Gilbert, Churchill’s biographer, in the White House. After newbie</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">President Barack Obama removed a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office, Republican presidential</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">candidate Mitt Romney made it an election promise to restore it. And when CEOs in 2013 were</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">polled for their “<strong>most admired leader</strong>”, <strong>Churchill <em><a href="http://letschangetheworld.ning.com/profiles/blogs/dyslexic-advantage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topped the list</a></em></strong> – ahead of the likes of ... </span></p>
