A Farewell to Senator John S. McCain from Japan

The farewell ceremony of Senator John McCain was held in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
I prayed for him, his families and friends across the Pacific.
Senator McCain was a great Congressman and a great Navy person.
He served so much and so long for the country.
He was captured and tortured during the Vietnam War, that was a contrast of Barack Obama, when they competed each other in the 2008 Presidential elections.
His grand-father and father were also admirals and his first son belongs to the Navy and the second son to the Marine.
The family McCain are showing us what the Noblesse Oblige is.
Moreover Senator McCain and his wife adapted a daughter from Bangladesh.
We, Japanese are very honored to have USS John S.. McCain in Yokosuka, Japan.
The Senator told us, 'The most difficult challenges are the sources of the strength.'.
Thank you, Senator, You left us so many things and we never forget you.
God bless you.
