Remembering John McCain



Introduction


On August 25, 2018, Senator John Sidney McCain III passed away, leaving behind a legacy of service and dedication to the United States. As a Republican senator from Arizona, he served for 35 years and was known for his maverick approach to politics.




Early Days


John McCain’s journey began at the United States Naval Academy, where his rebellious spirit earned him a reputation. As a Naval Aviator during the Vietnam War, he demonstrated courage and resilience, enduring five years as a POW after being shot down. His steadfastness and refusal of early release exemplified his commitment to his fellow soldiers.




Political Career


Following his military service, McCain transitioned to politics, leveraging his family's military legacy. His tenure in the Senate was marked by his willingness to cross party lines and his dedication to addressing national issues. Even after his brain cancer diagnosis in 2017, McCain continued his Senate duties, chairing the Armed Services Committee.




Final Farewell


In his final memoir, "The Restless Wave," McCain reflected on his life with contentment. He meticulously planned his funeral, ensuring his legacy would be honored. His body lay in state at the Arizona State Capitol and Washington D.C., followed by memorial services and a final burial at the United States Naval Academy cemetery in Annapolis, Maryland.
