It also reaffirms that past gestures of this type weren't just a great staff with Kerry political enough to know that things like this count. At this point, he doesn't have a MA staff and he is almost certain never to run for office again in MA. The connection he had to families that lost children due to war (or the young woman working for the State Department in Afghanistan) always seemed very deep and real, but this really shows it was never just for politics.

You are right he is a national treasure -- in fact, at this point he may well be an international treasure.
