Godspeed to Capt. John McCain. He was my last commanding officer at the Navy-Senate Liaison Office when I was discharged in January 1978. He was a remarkable man who believed that you needed to not just live but enjoy life.

Sen. McCain sent a card of congratulations to my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary. He sent me “free” Navy recruiting posters for my classroom when area recruiters wanted me to pay for them. He was truly a maverick who lived his life to the fullest.

Peace be with you, Capt. McCain.
