A fine example of a patriot. RIP John.

McCain was a hero in any time frame, but even more so to have endured years in a POW camp at a time when others actively evaded even serving when called by their country. RIP good sir.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Fair winds and following seas...
Refreshing honesty.He started to say something, but after about the first three words he stopped and said "you know, I really don't know enough about that issue to give you an intelligent answer."
For me, that really said it all - a man who understood the limits of his knowledge and was not afraid to admit it.
I did not always agree with John McCain's politics
I've never agreed with anyone's politics 100% of the time. Never.
Overall I admired McCain and found him to be one of the least hypocritical politicians (a vocational pursuit where most participants are extremely hypocritical) I'd every run across. I wish there were more like him.
+1 on both counts. Like someone above said, we’d be better off with more like him in Congress, but evidently a dying breed. Someone like him couldn’t get newly elected these days.I've never agreed with anyone's politics 100% of the time. Never.

I think it may be more of a practice for the rich and/or famous. No worries when my time comes.Was also surprised to see that Palin was not invited to the funeral? Is invited or not a common thing for funerals? I've always thought, if people show up, they do, if they don't then they don't.
I suppose a list is more common for famous folks instead of regular people. .
