John McCain's parting words: 'I lived and died a proud American'

Political strategist and longtime McCain aide Rick Davis read Sen. John McCain's last letter to the American people at a press conference on Monday. McCain said he was the "luckiest person on earth" even in his final days of battling cancer.

John McCain - you are a shining example of a TRUE Patriot, US Navy Veteran, a Vietnam POW who refused to use his family's Navy heritage to get released earlier and an Honorable Public Servant to our Great Country and a champion of human rights worldwide, RIP my brother in arms.

This man lacked empathy. His daughter's tirade against universal health insurance allowed me, for the first time, to realize the truth about her father. Before that, I saw him differently. He does not deserve this "royal burial."
