With the passing of Senator John McCain - I thought I'd share two stories from the archives about John McCain. Stories that I think reveal the man's true character.
The first is McCain confessing to being "broken" while a POW. But how that experience allowed him to be remade by the love of his fellow prisoners.
The second is how he may have saved the life of a desperate man while campaigning in New Hampshire.
(The links in the 2007 and 2008 stories no longer work but the quoted bits are what's important.)
His legacy, unfortunately, will be the betrayal of his party and the voters he was supposed to represent.
ReplyDeleteThat too.
ReplyDeleteI often disagreed with McCain's political choices.
ReplyDeleteBut politics aside - the man was an American hero.
