John McCain Dead at 81: My perspective as a 250 combat mission survivor (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia).
What incredible sadness washes over me hearing this expected news. What a good man. What a history. We have lost a lion in the Senate, and I say that as a card-carrying Democrat.
His history in Vietnam is epic. I was there, so I can call it. As I flew the Ho Chi Minh Trail at night, I knew his story. I had to. I could end up with John, in the Hanoi prison. He would be my commander.
This is my all time favorite Saguaro photo. In Tucson Mountain Park, of the Sonoran desert. On a road called the McCain Loop.
RIP, Sir
