John McCain's Legacy of Service: In His Words

Sen. John McCain's life will be remembered as one of service to his country. Hear him reflect on his years in the Navy, as a prisoner of war, six-term Senator and presidential nominee.

We just disagree on fundamental issues, he's a good man. Rest in peace John McCain.

True american war hero i salute you sen jhon mccain. Rip 🇺🇸

We all can lift our hands freely pass and above our shoulders, yet McCain accomplished more, with full force, with a simple "thumb down". That alone had earned him passage through the Pearl Gate. RIP Sir, as you had done all you had been send for with flying colors.

McCain is the very definition of service to self

McCain was one of the few politicians that didn't leave a bad taste in your mouth when you spoke about him. Whether Republican or Democrat, or in the middle somewhere, John McCain resonated because he actually cared about his constituents. We lost one of the few true Representatives of the American people this weekend.

Senator McCain was a true stalwart and an American Patroit. May his soul rest in Peace.

John's been in his own service for most of the last couple decades.

Today nothing ugly should be said about Senator McCain. I truly liked him, I did. TO me he was a American Hero and will always be. HE fought for our country, then held and tortured horribly for 5 1/2 yrs (as all Sr. Officials were, they got it tortured worse) When told he could leave to go home early he said, "NOT until they all go home." then he was tortured worse. HE came back, and became a Senator. I didn't like what he said or did sometimes but that was the same with all the Presidents even the ones I voted for.
His motto was "COUNTRY OVER PARTY" and he had me at that one. He was the ONLY Rep. I would have voted for and almost did except for his running mate. He was a good man, he voted his conscience even if it meant going against his own party. He worked with not only his party but on the other side of the aisle and even told them after his first surgery last yr for brain cancer that they had to Stop that nonsense and start working together. HE WAS IN MY EYES he is GREAT MAN AND A AMERICAN HERO...I will miss him. My heart, thought and prayers will be with the McCain family today and with their friends to in the coming days ahead. IF I could say something to him, I would say. "Senator McCain, you were a fine man, you served your Country well, for almost your entire life, God Speed, Now Rest in Peace."

PLEASE EVERYONE, NOTHING BAD TODAY, except to day 45 said he was a "LOSER" and that he didn't like "LOSERS" and it was about McCain being shot down and being held a prisoner for 5 1.2 yrs...Well Trump isn't good enough or big enough to stand in that man's shoes. This came from a 5x draft dodger who is breeding hate into politics and into this country. John McCain was far from a loser. He was a HERO. and I heard and I hope it is true, that 45 is NOT invited to his funeral...and that is GOOD!

The amount of innocent civilians murdered because of him is mind boggling. And I'm not talking about Vietnam . Syria Iraq Libya god knows were else

[some_randomninja]

Thankyou Arizona for always voting for him!!!

[kletchbizmo]

What a loss for our country... One of the last American who knew what sacrifice means and used his on a path of success.

I hope his relatives will heal after an inevitable mourning.

I believe the American servicemen he killed would have a different opinion.

[mikebasil]

Amazing reading the comments of people disrespecting the dead simply because of ones political beliefs. Grow up. This man was a hero and a legend.

[ColonelSmiles]

I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. John McCain is an honorable man who served his country to the highest degree he could.
