I voted for John for president! I too was a Vietnam veteran! I always looked to him as a leader! He voted his heart and beliefs! John put his country first!

Dear McCain Family... I wrote both my Colorado Senators today because the passing of John McCain has left big shoes to fill. He did the job of three people! He wasn’t a political lemming... he was a true leader. A real statesman. His courage, strength, and honor are what all our politicians should emulate. While his party affiliation was important, his conscience and doing what was right was always more important. All our politicians should should heed that mantra. And learn how to work across the aisle instead of fighting like grade school kids in the sandbox. Senator McCain is the best example to the world of what it means to be an American, to live in a free democracy, and to be a true “son of Liberty”.
-- Diane, Colorado
Although I never met him, as a chef, I prepared food for his team during the 2008 Civil Forum at Saddleback Church. It was an exciting privilege, and debate with then candidate Obama. I'm sure if Senator McCain had won (as I hoped and voted), our country would be in much better shape. I am sure he was received into heaven with "well done, good and faithful servant." God bless his family and may the Lord comfort them with peace, grace, and strength in these difficult days ahead. Thank you John McCain for your service, strength and dedication.

I never met Sen. McCain, but I will miss you. Even though I am more liberal than conservative, I respected you and am grateful for your service to our country.
-- David, Missouri
Thank you for your years of service to the country, not only in the military but in the senate. You are a true American hero and you will be missed. Rest in peace, sir.

I wore a POW bracelet with his name on it for years in HS and college. Politically our views differed, however he always had my respect. His motives were for the country and the country is better for his service. He leaves a great legacy and though your hearts are broken, your pride in him will be with you always

I like John McCain, I wish I had meet him and his family.

John McCain and I flew, on the A4 Skyhawk , from NAS Cecil Field, Florida to KINGSVILLE, TEXAS; he was speaking to future Navy pilots. The Sky Hawk was the type of airplane he flew in
the Navy; I will never forget his smile after making
a perfect landing back at Cecil Field. We enjoyed
our flight and enjoyed the hoagie in Texas before
we flew back to Florida. Then Itold him, "You will be making Admal and given a Carrier to
command."
To my surprise, I saw him on TV as Senetore of Arizona.
He answered. "Alfredo, I am going into politics"
When I found out he was a Senetor, I said " when he says he will do something; he does it.
me he was going into polytecs. WHERE he was giving a conference. was giving at Kingsville Texas. We flew out of NAVAL
AIR STATION CECIL, FL.
-- Alfredo, Florida
Rest In Peace Senator McCain. You inspired every person to reach higher and to be the best version of themselves, as you were, in service to your country and to mankind. Thank you for your service.
-- Sonia Garcia, Virginia
A well-earned rest for you, John. Truly well-earned in the eyes of God and of men.

Sorry for your loss
-- Joan, New York
Peace to you fellow Vietnam veteran. You are an honorable gentleman!
-- stuart, Hawaii
As former residents of Arizona we were always proud that John McCain represented our state. We remember Senator McCain taking time out of his very busy schedule to show his support of support Linkages (an organization promoting the employment of people with disabilities). John McCain was truly a man of action and not just lip-service. May his family find comfort in the expressions of gratitude and admiration so deeply felt by people all over the world.
-- Charles and Julia, Tennessee
John McCain was the greatest man of his generation. Also. of mine.
-- Tim, Maryland
I have long been an admirer of Senator McCain and very much wanted to see him become our president. I'm deeply grateful for his service to our country as a soldier, a statesman and a role model. To the McCain family, I extend my heartfelt sympathy on your great loss...and ours.

RIP John A true hero.
-- Gary, California
john was a good person and like him he with god
-- randy, Arizona
I was a Democrat, but when John ran for President, I'd always said that if he ever ran , I would support him. Party didn't matter as much to me as the intent and decency of the candidate.
John is the reason I became a bipartisan ..until trump...and I will be again when integrity is restored to the GOP... by emulating John's ethics.
It can honestly be said that John was a "great man", that only comes along in decades.
I wasn't prepared, though I knew it might come.
Even now, John helps us differentiate the split screen contrast between revered and notoriety.
He helped us through the troubled days of late while he was here, and will be the inspiration for us to regain our country's place in the world.
I will remember you, John.
-- Jenneva, Arizona

My family will miss seeing John at the Dback games...
-- ralph, Arizona
I will always be reminded of John McCain, because of his daughter Megan who will shine in the shadow of her father.... is a remarkable intellect, and is able to articulate so clearly the attributes that make a legend in US history. I am hoping she will rise up, and follow in her fathers footsteps.
-- Karen, California
I'm from Indiana he was a great person he will be missed I remember when he ran for president and wondered why he had arm problems then I found out he was a war vet
-- Rev. Joshua, Indiana
My husband, a retired Vet, died of Alzheimer's in 2016. But when he was still clear of mind and could speak, he would constantly speak about Senator McCain and his strength, honesty and gentle personality. He didn't know the Senator personally. But it was a great comfort to him that Senator McCain "was there to help us all". Comfort to all of the McCain Family. He can now rest among the heroes.
-- Marie A., Virginia
I SAW HIM IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN 2008. AND I WILL MISS HIM ALOT.
-- TOBY, Alabama
I have just would love to think and remember John McCain for the great and wonderful things of his earth life. For one for his Navy service and serving this great republic. His pain and suffering for this country will be remembered. He also served this county in the Senate even though he could have retired long ago he continued to serve the USA through pain, illness, hardships, and old age. I will keep John McCain and his family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless the former senator and his family!
-- Daniel, Missouri
He did a great job and will be missed. My prayers and thoughts for the McCain family.

John, was a hero, gracious, and authentic. It was a pleasure working on his campaign for President, and knowing that he had a sense of right and wrong, and looked at inclusion of all classes of persons foremost.
God bless, and condolences on your loss and the loss to this Nation.

I remember Mr. McCain commitment to a very strong military and thereby always keeping us all safe. Mr. McCain was a leader in realizing a comprehensive immigration law he co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy. It was very sad day when this comprehensive immigration plan was defeated by Congress. I also remember very well Mr. McCain class in ignoring insults from Donald Trump and how he campaigned against Barack Obama by speaking very positively about Mr. Obama as a person, only disagreements were policies, not personal. In today's Congress, we sure need new Mr. McCains !!!
-- Thor, New York
He was simply, my hero...
-- Dianne, Michigan
A great man! Thanks so much for your selfless service to our country. You will truly be missed.
-- Linda, Florida
Dedicated to America. There is really nothing more one needs to say.
-- Paul, Illinois
My profound sympathy on the passing of Senator McCain. He was an officer and a gentleman as well as an example of a person we should all try to be. His respect for those with whom he disagreed is legendary as is his love and respect for his country. Senator McCain certainly fought the good fight. Thank you for your service, Sir!
-- Frank, California
I have ALWAYS had a deep love and admiration for John McCain. My deepest sympathy and prayers for him and his family.
-- Frank, New York
I was lucky enough to meet him briefly on a political science field-trip to Washington D.C. He was friendly and not what I would have pictured as a political figure which seemed at odd with the busy political culture and life in the capitol. It was great to see someone so down-to-earth and not too busy to say hello and greet some college students from Bellevue, Washington.
-- Barbara, Washington
A true American Hero He will be missed.
-- Jerome Denise, Arizona
My heart and prayers go out to McClain family we love you stay strong and remember what he stands for unity and love he will always be our hero

I'll always remember a great line you gave "The most dangerous place in DC is between Chuck Schumer and a TV Camera". Bless you and your family and thank you.
-- John, California
I had the honor of being a delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention. I enjoyed meeting Senator McCain there and remain proud to have helped nominate him for President.
