John McCain who passed away this weekend often called himself an "Imperfect servant of a nation he loved deeply". Imperfect McCain was. Perfection is a trait denied to all humans. But as a humble servant of his country and as a true gentleman there have been and likely will be very few his equal. If our country was more perfect then more citizens with the qualities of John McCain would find higher public office. Unfortunately we seem to live in a time where that is hard to impossible.
But I have hope. I believe there is a large swath of the American public centered mostly in the middle that is sick to death of our current politics. It is my hope that this vacuum is eventually filled by citizens with some of the late Senator's qualities.
Rest in Peace John McCain. You made your family and country proud while you served that nation you loved so deeply very well indeed.
God bless and Godspeed!
