And his stubbornness at times was misplaced.<br /><br />But every now and then he would show tremendous political courage and do the right thing. We need more like him who have higher principles in mind without regard to party or ego. And, of course, his courage as an American soldier can never be forgotten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-9913972026453528072018-08-27T19:27:48.151-05:002018-08-27T19:27:48.151-05:00https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2018...https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2018/08/27/john-mccain-didnt-take-washington-phoenix-nonstop-flight-years-make-point/1107911002/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-2957178329382197272018-08-26T09:10:24.975-05:002018-08-26T09:10:24.975-05:00Sen McCain was a hero for many reasons and his mem...Sen McCain was a hero for many reasons and his memory WILL be a blessing.<br /><br />I, too, met him once and had some one-on-one time with him.
