The usual NYT leftist crowd, now falling over itself to sanctify the memory of John McCain of all people. Think I’m gonna throw up.
Hey hippies, just a reminder that your newfound favorite “maverick” consistently hawked an über-hawkish brand of foreign policy that basically made him a war criminal. This was a savage neocon who relentlessly and aggressively advocated for pretty much every reckless, misbegotten, illegal and moronically counterproductive military adventure our government has gotten us into over these last two decades — starting with Iraq, where the blood of thousands of American kids (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians) is on his hands. This was a guy who all but openly advocated for using military force against North Korea, and for launching a preemptive war against Iran. (Just this week, Bibi Netanyahu eulogized him as a “great friend of Israel” — enough said there.)
Trump wasn’t invited to this party, I get it. Let me suggest that there are plenty of ways to give him a hard time and/or gratify yourselves without engaging in such a weird and frankly nauseating display of passive aggression.
7
Eric,
I hear you well. The only reason why the hippies and the NYT are eulogizing him to no end is that he, like all of them, hated Trump.
It is kind like Obama getting a Nobel prize. If you recall, the guy had hardly started his US presidency, with his major Nobel-worthy accomplishment being that he WAS NOT George Bush!
6
Stop already!
Yes, he should be honored for his service in Vietnam and loyalty to his fellow POWS. However, this is the same John McCain who single handedly legitimized the "Alt Right" when he nominated Sarah Palin to be his V.P.. This is the same John McCain who chanted "bomb Iran" from the Senate floor, the same cold warrior, John McCain, who did everything he could to prevent rapprochement between the USA and Russia post collapse fo the USSR.
His life post Vietnam is far from admirable, and less than patriotic.
5
I don’t remember another senator honked in quite this way. I guess McCain was the Republican President we all would have preferred.
12
No matter what one's political view are, it is hard not to weep over the passing of Sen. McCain. Right now, it's difficult for me to see my computer screen.
He was a rare individual, flawed, not perfect by any stretch, but he had a core strength of honor and duty that was tested in the fire of war and a call to duty that lasted over 60 years. He leaves a legacy of service and sacrifice.
He was a man that was a polar opposite to the person now sitting in the Oval Office. I guess it's the wonder of American that the country could produce two men so radically different.
Rest in peace, Senator. May you have fair winds and following seas.
22
Some guys show up, some guys hide. John McCain deserved every respectful tribute he recieved because he showed up. Not perfect, no one is, but he engaged his life and his life's chosen work. That demands and deserves respect.
16
It has been an emotional week. I'm not American nor am I Republican, but have always loved how John McCain was able to bend negativity into strength and resilience while not losing sight of what he truly wanted. His character will be sorely missed, his presence just as much.
Joe Biden's eulogy yesterday was given by a heartbroken man whose anger was palpable. The rot in the White House has even taken root in far away countries, and most in the EU dislike the WH owner. It's time for change, and hopefully, for another John McCain to stand up again.
32
President Trump only reads the headlines. So, when he saw this one he said, “I like people who weren’t captured.” Although I more frequently than not disagreed on policy with John McCain I salute and honor a man of true courage and integrity. A great American. May his memory be a blessing.
16
Thanks for those photos.
12
This will be a week to remember - when an American hero and patriot gets more news coverage than a sniveling, craven draft dodger.
46
I am very anti-Trump. I see little or no value in how he operates. But today I stand by him. To use another mans death as a way to get back at Trump and then to talk about the honour of the man does no good.
Trumps hands are tied. If he reacts in anyway it will be taken as bad form. For the first time, Trump is showing some dignity by keeping quiet. Maybe for the wrong reasons, but its better than the other tribe's behaviour these days.
4
I am just a lady from Toowoomba Queensland Australia........and I too just loved Mr.McCain..........not only people from the U.S.A. will miss this heroic man, but people from all over the world salute this great person.......
26
I listened to Joe Biden’s eulogy today and was moved to tears. Not only have we lost a man of dignity, courage, and good character but we have also lost camaraderie and mutual respect among our senators and representatives in spite of political differences. Vice-President Biden spoke eloquently and personally about his good friend who succumbed to the same cancer that his own son died of. He spoke directly to Senator McCain’s wife and children, to Senators Graham and Flake among others. All I could think was, What happened to our nation? Where are those good men now? Perhaps, these pillars of leadership will inspire us to choose morality and ethics and service to others over greed and bigotry and self-gratification.
30
Seeing so many different Americans, from different backgrounds and with different opinions and beliefs, uniting in their respect and farewells to Senator McCain, gives me hope that we DO have the ability to remember how much more we have in common with each other than what divides us. Let us remember that, and assert that we will not allow ourselves to be turned against each other. RIP Senator McCain -- that may be your parting gift to us.
226
@Dean Well put. Thank you.
26
Dean, therein lies the lesson. I hope for your country, and all countries really, people are paying attention.
6
@Dean: Enough already with the foolish platitudes! If McCain's heart were in the right place, he would have returned to VN after the war to work in a civilian capacity to help Vietnam get back on its feet, heal the sick in the rural hamlets still suffering from the after effects of all the Agent 0range that was dropped which destroyed foliage in the country,left survivors with life long cancers. Many of our VN vets also contracted cancers from exposure to the defoliants! Remember Dow Chemical!Do not believe that THEY would mourn the death of the senator. JM returned home to attempt to monetize his war service--remember the Keating Five?--and run for political office.He was in front of the t.v. cameras so often that 1 was left wondering when he ever got any work done!Give it time, and the senator's demise will become yesterday's news.Recall Jimmy Breslin's reply to an interviewer after the publication of his last, perhaps best book, "The Good Rat,"when he was asked how he would like to be remembered:"Why would I care? I won't be here!"The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on!
I didn't share his politics, but he was so much more than a politician.
This liberal hippie casts a somber farewell to Senator McCain. Fly freely among the stars, sir.

The media's love affair with a John McCain that never was
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-johnson-mccain-reputation-201...
2
I voted,against him in 2008 but I always admired and respected him.
12
I didn't agree with John McCain on a lot of issues, but I found him someone easy to respect for his service and dedication to public service.
It was a moving tribute and ceremony in Arizona and the arrival of his body this evening at Andrews Air Force base was something to make any American proud.
I do have to say though, that I found it distasteful and somewhat disrespectful, to have Donald Trump out in Indiana giving this stupid partisan rally filled with his usually nonsense and lies, at the same time I'm watching John McCain's body being so solemnly received in such a moving ceremony at Andrews Air Force base in Maryland.
I personally think any other President, regardless of what you felt about John McCain would have had the basic decency to have stayed in the Washington at this time, and at least maintained a low profile this week as a show of respect.
25
The photographs show a beautiful memorial service, with so many Americans present from all walks of life. I am a Democrat who recognizes Mr. McCain as an individual suffered for his country, and brought up a family who are honorable people, and loved this man very much for the right reasons. Take care McCain family.
14
I found myself in tears when I heard McCain was dead, and this surprised me because I do not generally weep for famous people I did not know. I think I am weeping for the loss of a voice of bipartisanship and the loss of a leader who truly put his country first in a way no one in Washington seems able to do anymore. A little bit of my hope for our country died with him I think.
84
@Alexandra Hamilton
I have been surprised by how deep my sadness at Senator McCain’s passing has been as well and I think for the same reasons you stated. I would dearly love to be in Washington outside the National Cathedral on Saturday to honor his memory and the example he has set for all the people of our nation. Unfortunately, it is not possible. Instead, I will be alone in a park here in my hometown watching on my phone and most likely weeping for us all and the loss of integrity in our leaders. I hope Vice President Biden is wrong, that others of Senator McCain’s caliber are out there. And going forward I will do what I can to make sure that Senator McCain is right in saying “that nothing here is inevitable”.
12
@Alexandra Hamilton
Let us hope that his legacy will inspire others to be good leaders.
6
Excellent photos, NYTimes! Keep more coming! Senator McCain was not perfect, but he deserves our respect -- and the cross section of America joining to honor his service is of national interest.
17
The accolades that were bestowed upon Senator McCain today few men or women have had or will have. He was a great man, who regardless of which party one belonged to was greatly admired. That person in the White House could have learned a lot if he listened to the eulogies given by members of both parties. But he was too busy tweeting his childish nonsense. He will never receive such honors because he lacks Senator McCain's qualities, integrity, honesty, dignity, decency and above all, a legacy that will inspire others for years to come.
Character counts, something that "t" also lacks. How sad for our country that we lost a great American hero. How sad for his family.
9
Godspeed, John McCain.
8
John McCain is a hero in my heart. I not only admire his worrier spirit in Vietnam, but also his courage to say "NO" to Trump's bill against all his Republican colleagues. He was above partisan benefits and always put country on top of everything. An outstanding individual! I feel sad. No more Republicans in the Congress to defend America's true values.
11
As a Vietnam Era vet myself, I honor McCain's service recognizing that out of a highly privileged childhood which continued throughout his life, he rose above that privilege to serve his country over self.
17
John McCain was a man who understood people,
And tried to help solve problems to make life better for all Americans. Trying to get away from war, he understood what war does to the young people who hat to go to war, and I think wanted another solution instead of sending young people into those soul destroying situations. JOHN McCAINE I SALUTE YOU
6
All of the speakers at McCain's ceremony in Phoenix were articulate, eloquent, and educated and most of all, spoke from the heart. If they had invited Trump -- a man who criticized McCain's 5.5 years in a torture camp -- how he exactly had he fit in? What would he have said. Listen, watch, and learn from these leaders in various careers and walks of life: Words matter...how you treat another human being matters... how you treat the office you have been GIVEN matters. If you can't be a statesman -- no matter what your views -- you do not deserve the office you hold. Senator McCain, whether you agreed with him or not, deserved every respect because he earned it by his words and actions.
13
Its wonderful to see John McCain held with such respect in his passing. I did not always agree with him but he was unquestionably a man of true character and a great American hero.
RIP Maverick.
15
McCain: Dignified; Honorable; Country First. With his passing a nation greaves.
Trump: Gauche; Ignoble; Self First. When his time comes, will anyone care?
18
Joe Biden's moving farewell to his buddy John McCain was one of the best moments of a wonderful remembrance and farewell today in Phoenix. The motorcade to the church and later to the airport was worthy of a presidential funeral. Citizens stood at attention.
Today's service was just the way Senator McCain would have had it. He did it his way.
16
God speed Senator McCain. Such moving tributes from his good friends. Farewell and goodnight.
2
No wonder trump is jealous; he'll never receive these whole-hearted honors and very few if any people love or respect him the way people loved and respected John McCain, an American hero.
15
@Patrick McCord: Who is obsessed? Why does everything have to be about Trump? John McCain was a patriot. He served the country honorably. Unlike many who claim to be conservatives, he put his country first. Anyone chanting MAGA but somehow can't respect Mr. McCain is seriously lost.
12
I hope all sides remember at the polls, the disgraceful treatment by trump towards McCain and all military, past and present.
14
John McCain was the only politician I ever wrote to - I wrote him last year to simply express my thanks for his service and for his being to only major GOP figure to stand up to Trump
And I’m a Democrat.
The next time a GOP voter is asked if they approve of Trump - not if they’d vote for a Democrat, just if the approve - have the decency, and say NO
Stop endorsing his behavior
He doesn’t value honor or decency
So stop honoring him with your approval.
7
My ex and now deceased husband was a Marine who served in Vietnam during the height of the Tet Offensive. He was broken when he returned and he never recovered...emotionally, physically or spiritually. He enlisted, so it was his much misguided choice to serve, but he did it with the naive belief that he was doing right by his country. He was only 18 when he signed up. His parents were appalled.
In the years that ensued, recovery from the pain never came. His faith in most political institutions was lost. In his blue button down shirts and khaki pants, you'd never know his history. He kept it to himself. Vietnam veteran, he used to say, that's a club he'd prefer not to belong. He hated people who bragged about their service there because, he said, those who truly experienced it rarely talked to others about the horrors. Only in his nightmares was he free.
But there was one man who always held his admiration, and that was Senator John McCain. In him, he saw a man who suffered more than he did, who overcame that suffering and who lived his life in the service of others.
Semper fi, John and Senator McCain, wherever you are. I hope there's nothing but peace and freedom on the other side.
129
@Barbara M.you too lost a lot, your husband to Viet Nam. I am so sorry and thank you for your words.

Rest in peace, Senator. You are an American hero.

The Senator's sons in uniform, one officer, one rank, escorting their mother at a time of family grief. What could say more about their family, their values and their patriotism.

This morning I drove by the church while the service was happening while listening to it on NPR. I took a right on Central Ave and passed an old, oversized McCain campaign sign and a few other old McCain signs people dusted off and staked in their yards. Online, I watched Airforce 2 take-off & tracked it since I live below the flight path and watched him depart AZ one last time over Piestawa Peak. Most of my political views do not align with the Republican party however I never thought of this man in terms of party and always respected him. He meant so much to this state and country and I hope and pray there are more like him in our future government. RIP
105
The Times, et al, needs to drop this McCain puffery.
He was a war monger, who inflicted Sarah Palin on the country.
Just imagine if he'd said in 2002, "any invasion of Iraq is ill-advised today".
The Keating Savings and Loan scandal from the 1980s (and remember McCain had already married into great wealth) should have forced him from office.
A few months after his release from North Vietnam, he advocated the continuance of the illegal bombing of Cambodia.
5
@Yaj
Are you perfect Yaj? You are completely missing one of Senator McCain’s greatest virtues. He made mistakes, huge ones on occasion. And not only did he admit to them he took responsibility for them. He then attempted to make amends for them when possible. Most importantly, he learned from his mistakes and sincerely worked to do better going forward. All of us as imperfect human beings can ask no more of ourselves or anyone else.
9
In these stressful days, it is a balm to the soul to listen to, or read Senator McCain's words.
4
For Joe Biden, who spoke so movingly of his friend at today's service, who found exactly the right, from-the-heart words to comfort his grieving widow and children, and to lift up a frightened and sorrowful nation, I offer these words:
What we all saw and heard on that stage today, what we have cried out for, and long for and need was - A President.
To Senator McCain, who spent his life in the service of his country, and regretted not one painful moment of it, I offer these:
"Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
'To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods.'"
― Thomas Babington Macaulay, Lays of Ancient Rome
14
Thank you NYT for respectful coverage that is fair and balanced.

Senator McCain’s life represented what I’ve always admired most of my adopted country: courage under fire, generosity of spirit, and an irreverent and rugged individualism. As a Vietnamese American, I so respect Senator McCain’s work to improve relations between the U.S. and its (his) former enemy, Vietnam, showing his remarkable capacity for forgiveness, which is a trait that has contributed to and made America deserving of its role as leader of the free world. May you rest in peace and may Mrs. McCain and the entire family find some comfort in the knowledge that our country is in debt to the Senator’s service.
17
Mr. McCain was a true hero. I have admired his courage greatly. May God bless and keep him near. I wish his family love and peace.
10
John McCain has more guts in his eyelash than Donald Trymp has in his whole body . Trump is not in the league of this great and brave Patriot . Senator McCain represents the best of us so what do you think Trump represents ? Donald,when a great man doesn’t want you at his funeral , you may want to have a long talk with yourself ....
124
@Mary DePalma
do you really think trump is capable of introspection or self examination?
7
Never voted for him (even when I lived in Arizona). Crying for our loss of a person who deserved our respect and of one who, while I may not have agreed with, nevertheless was never anything other than honorable.
91
In reviewing John McCain’s life with the country, I know have a new appreciation for the millions of Republican Constituents who voted for John McCain in the 2008 Presidential Election. It really is too bad that John McCain didn’t have a chance to be our President; he may have been one of the best President’s the Republican Party and America ever had. Wouldn’t his ability to work compromise have been the best for our country following all the hostility during the W. Bush terms? Hostility, perhaps born out of defensiveness on9/11, where both parties inadvertently took it out on the other, maybe?
23
The two most touching photos were Cindy McCain, touching the casket in the rotunda and the Viet Nam vets walking past the crisply uniformed Navy members.
45
Senator and Captain McCain understood duty. Though no more perfect than any of us, he understood his duty as a member of the military, as a member of the national legislature, and as a family man. It is some measure of his essential decency that so many accolades, including mine, come from the other side of the political spectrum. Courage and decency do not have a party affiliation; they transcend such considerations.
Fair winds and following seas, Captain. We miss you, and more than that, we miss your kind.
65
A mensch.
40
President Trump talks about how the NFL players are "disrespecting our veterans and their service". The President's treatment of Sen. McCain during McCain's life and after is the worst example of disrespect of our country and it's veterans that I have ever witnessed in my life. Shame to all of those who do not see the hypocrisy exhibited by President's Trump's actions with the support of many in the Republic party.
212
Perhaps now John McCain is even a bigger place than the U.S. Presidency, where he can work ‘through’ all of us at once, now? May the best and brightest always shine.
Sometimes, some of us Democrats stand-up for our American political party against Russia’s influence by referring to the 3 million more people who voted for Hillary Clinton in the popular vote. I like to look at it that 3 million less ‘American Republicans’ voted for Trump than voted for Hillary, when her numbers were not even enough to win the Electoral College Vote.
Therefore, I don’t blame Republican Constituents as a whole group bunched together, for not knowing any better not to vote for Trump; but I think their leaders should have known better to support leaders like John McCain for president instead.
Good luck with your Party, Republicans.
14
Grant Woods, John McCain’s comrade of various venues said it best today at McCain’s service - he said “John McCain believed every single person has a right to live free.”
And really, isn’t that what America should be about? After all, it was founded on that reasoning, and by the will of the people, we will work towards that goal.
John McCain’s philosophy, his service, his demeanor, his love for country are everlasting values we can not ever put aside. Joe Biden declared today John McCain knew “heroes didn’t build this country. Ordinary people did - people who did extraordinary things.”
John McCain will not be forgotten, far from ordinary, but we can cherish our freedom, and may we always do “extraordinary” deeds. John McCain would like that.
55
I really cant understand the NY TIMES obsession with McCain. YOU DONT LIKE CONSERVATIVES! It must be because Trump doesn't like him. Its the only thing that makes any sense. And it is consistent with liberal's common practice to profess the opposite of Trump simply to Resist.
@Patrick McCord, Mr. McCord, I was raised by conservative Republicans. The current crop of Rs are not conservative Republicans. I am deeply, eternally shattered by what my father's party has become, and I am heartsick about it. John McCain reminded me of my father very much: duty, service to country and to friends, broad-mindedness, separation of church and state, freedom and fairness at home and abroad. That's what I am mourning today -- the loss of the party of Lincoln.
63
@Patrick McCord - And I fail, time and time again, to understand some Americans' lemming-like obsession with Donald Trump. I suppose they're just as crude and uncouth as he is - it's the only thing that makes any sense.
I hate to burst your balloon out there in Spokane, but the Times is not obsessed with the late Sen. McCain. They're a major news outlet covering the death of and funeral services for an American senator and veteran/POW. This has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump. Not everything in America today has to do with that obnoxious old gasbag.
And yes, people should definitely resist and protest Trump and everything he stands for. People of conscience throughout the land, regardless of political party, should resist and protest this scoundrel. He is unfit and immoral, and a stain on this nation in which so many, here and across the world, take pride. We resisted and protested tyranny and fools once before. We can do it again.
24
@Patrick McCord I do not like what conservatives generally try to legislate; I do not generally agree with their politics or policies. I rarely agreed with Senator McCain and never voted for him. Nevertheless, I feel he was a principled man of honor and integrity, an honest man who stood for something. I trusted Senator McCain, and I could have sat down and had a conversation or a glass of wine with him. I will never support Trump because he has no honor, no integrity, no moral compass, and no steadfast values. I do not respect nor like Trump and it won't matter to me if the economy continues to accelerate or jobs proliferate or coal miners get their jobs back. I will never sell my soul for the likes of a morally corrupt criminal like Trump - I resist because I love my country as did John McCain. That's the difference.
96
My politics are nearly diametrically opposed to McCain's, but there can be no doubt that he was an American hero. He served his nation his entire life and nearly lost that life in one of America's useless wars. The fact that McCain declined early release from his Vietnamese captors speaks volumes about his character. It matters not that he nearly always voted in ways with which I disagree. I will forever be grateful for his vote to decline McConnell, Ryan and Trump their cruel victory in overturning the Affordable Care Act for no reason other than pure spite. May he rest in peace.
189
If you think he’ll be getting the last word you are grossly mistaken! He got something way better and priceless: our admiration.
103
Sir,
You will certainly be missed. Your integrity, perseverance and most of all your dedication to your Country. It's sad that there is currently no one in office that can hold a candle to you. RIP.
58
John McCain, an American patriot, who spent his life in service to our great country.
40
I did not vote for him, but I appreciated and respected his service. That he worked to mend relations with Vietnam after what he endured says volumes about his character. That he asked both Bush and Obama to eulogize him though he lost to both shows us his grace and class.
173
Most touching to me where the tributes from Vietnam and even his former captors. It is all very beautiful and certainly fitting for a very fine human being. The cesspool that parades across our media on a daily basis makes us forget that politics can be noble.
86
@Jim McGrath
Yes, it it astounding that the Vietnamese have been gathering alongside the Hanoi lakeshore where he was captured, and that they are leaving flowers as they honor him and pray.
10
thank you NYT
i cried honest tears
when they stopped the overwhelming reality we know face made me honestly ashamed
can we name a single principled leader in our america now?
or a patriot, even an elected official who takes their oath of office to we the people before themselves
RIP sir, an honored gentleman whose like will not be seen in the time left to me
36
He sacrificed a great deal and served honorably in the military. As a politician, his voting record was atrocious. He repeatedly voted with his party, for the rich, the corrupt, and not for the people. He advocated for a war based on a flat out lie. Some of these he acknowledged and regretted, but most he did not.
17
The outpouring upon McCain's departure is a testament to his character, his principles and the lives he touched and inspired.
Godspeed, J. McCain.
Respectfully,
DWilson, LCDR, USN (Ret.)
56
Republicans--This man should have been your leader; this man who offered service to his nation, who was humble and who knew how to apologize, who knew how to compromise and who represented us, whether in the military, as a POW, as a husband and father, as a Senator. This man, not the profane, undignified, unhinged man who resides in the White House as a Pretender! You should feel ashamed if you profess to respect the memory of John McCain but still bow down to Trump. You should be ashamed. This man, John McCain, knew how to be a man--a gentleman, a leader, respected and admired by all for so many reasons. I say this as a life long Democrat, profoundly saddened by McCain's loss, by this nation's loss and disgusted by the opportunistic, often racist support thrown behind Mr. Trump. Pick your Republican. If John McCain was a man you admired, then you cannot have it both ways and admire his polar opposite--Mr. Trump.
162
@Eva Lockhart, I wouldn’t infect my thought of Sen. McCain by bring the name of the man who brought dishonor to America’s highest office.
People talk about the imperfections of Sen. McCain, as if in his shoes they would have done anything else whatever the circumstances. I walked by a church, which had a sign calling everyone to prayer. It said, “All imperfect people welcome.”
I guess that’s us.
10
@Eva Lockhart . Well said! I am a life long Democrat also but I called McCain's office to let them know that I was grateful for his dignity in calling Trump out for his deplorable behavior. I live in Rhode Island but consider McCain my Senator too.
6
R.I.P. Senator, full respect and deepest condolences to family and nation!
27
Seeing the images and tributes paid to John McCain a person I had always liked, respected and followed (even though I had been disappointed by his choices in his last run for president), it seems like a timeless moment in the U.S. - not only have we lost a great Senator, a person of some remarkable perseverance, and an unquestionable PATRIOT, but his passing symbolizes something we have all lost in ourselves, as Americans.
45
John McCain was a highly principled leader in addition to being a great hero (not only because he served his Nation, not only because he was captured and was held prisoner for years and years under horrific conditions), but because he didn't take the easy way out. Hopefully there will be future leaders who exhibit what he did. There don't seem to be any now. God Bless him and his family.
76
@Andre Weiss
There are good brave men and boys who will soon be brave men everywhere. They don't gain notoriety by tweeting at 4am nit-picking on trifle jabs. They simply go about their business doing the best they can to be the best they can.
I certainly wanted my children to be the best they could be. For a couple decades I wondered if my son would see his potential. He has. He is a good brave man.
My husband is a good brave man.
Neither of them beat their own drums. They just go about choosing to do the right thing.
Guess what. So do my daughters. Good brave people are everywhere but you won't find them making a lot of noise, broadcasting lies, or abusing someone else in order to inflate their own egos. Good brave people have integrity to guide them through life. They never operate out of fear mongering. That is how we know good people.

Say hello to John, Bobby, Teddy, Martin and Nelson.
You were imperfect, courageous men who touched and changed our lives for the better.
We miss you all.

What a great MAN! So lucky to have share Him!

The pictures and videos , make me feel like the America I thought I lost , tears in my eyes cannot express the emotion and oneness that I greatfully acknowledge to a truly great American ..

@Robert zacconi I whole heartedly agree.
11
Your spirit, Senator McCain, and the caliber of your character will be sorely missed by those of us who grew up with the ethics and morals that made me proud to be an American. My father served with pride and knowing you were in the Senate kept me hopeful for our future. Thank you and your family for your distinguished service to our country. May you rest on the wings of angels and pray for us left here on earth to find a better way forward.
