McCain represented an older American elite, a better one, that still considered privilege synonymous with the duty of service.
To our little family of brand-new Americans, he was a shining example of a servant leadership class, who did not take the blessings this magnificent country had bestowed on them for granted.
Only the vicious and dishonest could ever doubt that McCain made his many important decisions with the best interests of his country, as he saw them, at heart.
If every public servant shared his patriotic intentions, the country would be a far better place, and it is poorer for having lost one of its finest.
Never has a political slogan so perfectly captured the ethos of the man running: Country First.
From the age of 17 to his passing at almost 82, McCain put his country first, and for those decades of faithful service, we, his fellow countrymen, should show our deepest gratitude.
McCain said of himself when he came back from captivity and torture in the Hanoi Hilton, "I wasn't my own man anymore, I was my country's." Your country thanks and honors you, Senator McCain, and it will miss you.
