We mourn the passing of Senator John McCain. He was a patriot and hero who served our country with deep devotion. His courage and integrity are an example for all regardless of political persuasion. May God comfort his family and may his soul Rest In Peace.

Whatever your politics, John McCain is an American hero. May we all strive to live up to the legacy we wish to leave behind
