They say the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, what a great son our future vice-president has......
Beau Biden was born February 3, 1969 in Wilmington, Delaware, the oldest son of U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and his first wife, Neilia Hunter. His mother and baby sister were killed in an automobile accident in 1972, in which he and his brother Hunter were also badly injured. He is a graduate of Archmere Academy, the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, and Syracuse University College of Law. From 1995 to 2004, he worked at the United States Department of Justice in Philadelphia. At first he served as a Counsel in the Office of Policy Development and later as a Federal Prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office. In 2004, he became a partner in the Wilmington law firm Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden & Balick.
Biden is a member of the Delaware Army National Guard, and serves as a Captain in the Judge Advocate General's office. In August 2007, he received notice that his unit would be deployed to Iraq some time in 2008. He is officially scheduled to deploy on October 3, 2008, the day after his father participates in the campaign's only vice presidential debate. His father is on the record as saying, "I don't want him going. But I tell you what, I don't want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years, and so how we leave makes a big difference."
