Truly a man of principles.

A man that dedicated his life of others.

A man to look up to.

Sadly his death came as I was watching the HBO doc “For Who The Bell Tolls”.

RIP, JM. Thank you for your service to this country and the world.

A great man, we need more like him, even if just to serve as a reminder, an example, of what we should be. Duty, Honor, Country.

I saw the video clip this morning showing when he was on the campaign trail and a woman supporter of his began to disparage his opponent. He calmly shook his head “no”, politely took his microphone from her and said “You’re wrong. He’s a good man, a family man....”
What a class act. We need more men like John McCain.
RIP sir. This is America’s loss.

RIP John McCain.

When in Vietnam I saw the jail where you and the other prisoners were kept.
I saw the conditions, I read the letters, I saw the pictures.
I will never forget this.
Enough said.

Love him or hate him, he was a maverick, did it his way, made mistakes, owned them, and wasn’t afraid to break party lines and reach across the isle to do what he thought was right for Americans. His loss is significant and we need more people like him in office.
Fair winds and following seas shipmate!
