John McCain, in the words of his congressional colleagues

I remember my dad talking about McCain. He was the only politician about whom my dad ever care to voice his opinion. I was told the stories of his service, his capture, torture and release. I knew he was a hero before I was old enough to really understand what it meant to be a hero. He will be greatly missed.

Yesterday John McCain, an American patriot, after dedicating his life to carrying the flag for this country, posted that flag in the ground, sat leaning against it, and took his last rest.

John, I disliked a great deal of what you did, but you are a hero. Rest in eternal peace. - Marc Sarcutus

The outpouring of appreciation for John speaks to how much he gave. Nobody will attend Trumps funeral one day. That also tells all.

It’s so nice to see people on both sides give their respect.

I hope that his colleagues in Congress today can learn from the example of this good, brave, and honorable man. While I didn't vote for him, I've always respected him. RIP Senator McCain. Heartfelt condolences to his family.

Even McConnell struggles to say a bad word about him

[AlSavel]

Thank you for your service to the United States of America, John McCain! May you rest in peace.

He knew what enemies could do to the ppl that get left behind. That's still true today.

I find it immensely interesting that Americans are reverting back to displaying such high levels of integrity, respect and honor in how they mark the passing of McCain. We haven't seen anything like that since the advent of President Trump, who of course was golfing during the main ceremony.

He is the Last Republican to put country before Trump. RIP

Unlike most, this man served and suffered for the USA. He made his mistakes and was quick to admit them. He disagreed without being disagreeable. He stood up for his country and the men and women in uniform that serve it. He defended the honor of those he competed against instead of using race, class or creed to divide the simple minded. He was quick to congratulate others when he lost and even quicker to reach across the aisle. He achieve what most sorry folk would never be able to without whipping up enmity, bringing up sentiments or catering to the crazies. He was a REAL SUCCESS, teaching us all how to rise and keep moving after a fall. The party he left behind, the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower is now largely made up of those who jeer at athletes for kneeling but insult military heroes who did not dodge the draft but gave so much, some even their lives in the fight for freedom. Luckily for McCain, the present political situation in the US makes it even easier for us to see how much of a giant he was for maintaining the high standards of the American right- dignity, integrity, courage,  honor and service. To see how low his party has sunk is to see how high McCain's legacy will continue to soar. May he rest in peace and may his family find solace quickly.
