Sen. John McCain, a legend in the Senate, a hero for the country and a statesman who shaped the country on everything from United States foreign policy to immigration reform, has left a hole in the heart of Washington.

Leonid Slutsky, head of the lower house of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, told the RIA Novosti state news agency that McCain was a “courageous and principled person”.
“We both were hopeful that it would not be the last time”, Leahy said.

“It’s sad, actually, because he’s a reminder of the days of being able to find common ground and not just talking past each other”, said Bill Brenner, 48, of Haverhill, during a visit to the institute Sunday afternoon.”He showed that you can dispute with a sense of duty, respect to other viewpoints, and overall humanity”. “I think it’s the same feeling for all Vietnamese people as he has greatly contributed to the development of Vietnam-U.S. relations”. “Now we’re gonna do what we can, get the best doctors we can find and do the best we can.’ And, at the same time, celebrate with gratitude a life well lived”.
