Kenna Morton's Journal, 01 Sep 18

I watched the eulogy given by President Obama.for John McCain this morning. He quoted from a passage from a Hemingway book that I think applies to many of us, not only in this FS arena but in our lives in general.

“Today is only one day in all the days that there will ever be. But what will happen in all the days that ever come can depend on what you will do today. Each moment, each day, each choice is a test. “

It’s worth posting here and on your refrigerator for your kids and you to read every time you pass by.

I hope you all know who John McCain is. I watched him and all the others come off of planes and buses upon coming home from the Hanoi Hilton toward the end of the war. The soldier whose POW bracelet I wore for 4 years did not make it home— he died about six months before the release of the others.

So sorry for your loss! I watched Senator McCain life's celebration on T.V. and it was very inspirational. Yes this quote is very fitting for all of us. Senator McCain lived an impactful life.

I'm sorry for your loss, and blessed to have brave soldiers sacrifice so much for my freedom. Thank you for sharing this quote President Obama included in his eulogy to Sen. John McCain. I will be posting this in my home and at work for daily inspiration.

“The liminal space” advancing, moment by moment. 💫 Me, A Navy Brat, remember attending my POW return experience at JAX NAS. Emotional shiat. As was McCain’s Services.

didn't watch the dog and pony show. I have Vietnam veteran friends who knew Mccain and said he's not a hero, he sealed his records and left POW's to die while his daddy admiral kept his son safe. He wasn't tortured he ejected out of a plane and didn't cross his arms. He also gained 10 lbs while the other POWs lost weight and even died. Things are not what they appear.. John Kerry shot himself in the foot and got a purple heart. It's all about who you know. I would rather NEVER had known the truth about John Mccain, I voted for him.

My dad, (passed away 15 yrs today) was a ‘Nam USN veteran, a heavy attack BN, disagreed mightily with the anti-McCain posse, back in 2000. Nothing but praise. Fly Navy!
