Rest In Peace, John. There will never be another like you.
R.I.P Mr. McCain, you were much loved and respected.
I have a lot of respect for the way he conducted himself in Vietnam and his stance on campaign reform. It is unfortunate that every event in society today is politicized. Sports, entertainment, and now even death.

I saw McCain twice at campaign events. The first with GW Bush back when he was running for POTUS, and the second time when McCain ran for POTUS. Decent man.
With the passing of a patriot like John McCain
My hopes for the country that he loved went down the drain.
No one else has shown the courage he showed 'til the end;
Few have tried to reach across the aisle and make a friend.
(My dad shared a room at the Academy with John
And the stories of the escapades those two went on
Kept us entertained and made me love John even more...)
Would have made a better President than Bush or Gore.
Sixty years of service to the country he adored;
I'm sure heaven has already welcomed him aboard.
He was an example to us all throughout his life.
Praying for his friends and family and lovely wife.
RIP. I may not always have agreed with his politics but i always respected him as a politician. Thoughts to friends and family.
Thank you, Deej! It's been quite a number of years but I did once ask everyone who posted in the R.I.P. threads to not post negative comments about the individual (Charles Manson being an exception). It is disrespectful to the person who has passed and also to the people who cared about the individual. Guess it's time for a refresher on this subject. Thank you all for understanding.
I disagreed, sometimes vehemently, with most of his political positions but he was a patriot. He served our country well, suffering permanent damage as a POW. For that alone he should be honored. RIP Senator.
RIP Senator McCain - may you be at peace.
McCain requested Obama and George W. Bush deliver eulogies at funeral

I listened to several of the funeral speeches. I was at an airport, so out in the public and....
Man, when Meghan McCain gave hers, I don't understand why there wasn't a dry eye in the cathedral. It was pretty darn misty on this side of the computer screen.
Thank you for your enduring service, Captain, Senator.
