A good man passed away over the weekend -- tomorrow would have been his 82nd birthday. John Sidney McCain III served in both the military and in politics, always with the best interests of his country at heart. He was a decent, principled, and humble man who never claimed to be perfect but was not afraid to speak his mind. His great sacrifices and dedication to both military and political service earned him the respect of his colleagues regardless of party affiliation. John McCain was known for his ability to reach across party lines to work for the good of his country, and while he was a staunch conservative he always strove to do what was best for the nation rather than what was popular with either political party.
I extend my deepest condolences to the McCain family. If fairness prevailed in this world, a healthy John McCain would be sitting in the Oval Office right now, and the current occupant... would not. However, the world is not always fair, so all that the rest of us as his fellow Americans can do is express our sincere gratitude that this nation had the privilege of being represented by John McCain, a heroic man of integrity and courage. Hopefully he will serve as a role model for politicians, both present and future, from both sides of the aisle. Thank you for your years of dedicated service, Mr. McCain, and may you rest in peace.
