Arizona Senator John McCain was the 2008 Republican nominee for President of the United States. Senator McCain followed his Father and Grandfather, both 4-Star Admirals, into the US NAVY in 1958. While serving as a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 and held as a P.O.W until 1973. During his years of imprisonment he endured years of torture and declined numerous opportunities to be released earlier due to the celebrity of his Father and Grandfather. He was elected to Congress in 1982, serving 2 terms before going on to the US Senate. He has been a US Senator since 1986. He has written 5 books during his career, including the critically acclaimed “Faith of my Fathers”. Although I don’t agree with many of his politics, the man is a true Great American Hero and Patriot.
