Great, touching letter. Thanks for sharing it. I’ve already done my duty via absentee ballot. As a military family, we would be most proud to have a Commander in Chief with the mettle of John S. McCain.

Thank you. We can have a hero or a zero for president.....the choice should be easy.

An honorable, courageous man wore this, and made a terrible decision in the dark – no press, no pollsters, no focus groups. He made that decision alone.

That's it right there.

Great pics.
There’s no comparison. Look at their backgrounds ~ the Admirals in McCain’s family, the heritage of heroes.

We don’t hear much about the McCain women of his family, but they are extraordinary also.

I don’t agree with McCain on a bunch of things. Immigration, most prominently. However, I think he is a good person, he is not an appeaser and definitely has the best interests of the country at heart.

The guy’s an honest to god war hero turned politician who suffered such great wounds that he can’t dress himself because of them. When given the option of bashing his country in exchange for early release, and an end to the pain, he wouldn’t do it.

That’s a guy who’s earned my vote. Over and over.
