Navy Veteran and United States Senator John McCain died yesterday. Unlike today's "heroes" like LeBron James and the NFL Divas that disparage this country's Leaders and disrespect this Nation, John McCain was a true hero. He honorably served his country as a Naval Aviator. He endured years of unimaginable, horrific mental and physical torture as a Prisoner of War serving his country. Afterwards, he continued to serve his country as a Steward of the People, selflessly dedicating his life to this Nation's ideals.
I don't pretend that John McCain was a perfect man. Like all of us, he had his faults. Senator McCain could at times be stubborn, temperamental, and incorrigible. Yet one thing is for certain…unlike the NFL Divas of today, John McCain never knelt in the face of adversity. He faced adversity with equal vim and vigor. Unlike Edward Snowden and Chelsea (Bradley) Manning, John McCain never sold his country out. Even as a Prisoner of War. This…this…is what makes Navy Veteran and United States Senator John McCain a true hero.
