Pow John McCain

If you have ever ridden in an airplane and look down you notice that the world is like a video game or like a young girl playing with dolls. But some individuals think they rule the world, or just you. Well John McCain was that individual that got picked to be ruled. God just chose him out of the blue. But let's start from the beginning.
John was born Coco Solo Naval Station in Panama on August 29, 1936 along with two siblings. Johns first marriage was to Carol Shepp a model from Philadelphia, on July 3, 1965. He then adopted her two children Doug and Andy Shepp that had been from Carol's first marriage. Then in 1966 John and Carol had a daughter together. Next they got a divorce in April 1980 which led to meeting his second wife Cindy Lou Hensley, a teacher from Phoenix, while she was on vacation in 1979 with her parents in Hawaii. McCain was still married at the time, but separated from his first wife. John and Cindy were married in Phoenix, Arizona on May 17, 1980. They have five children: Meghan (born in 1984), John IV (known as Jack, born in 1986), James (known as Jimmy, born in 1988) and Bridget (born in 1991 in Bangladesh, and adopted by the McCains in 1993). Johns father and grand father were both four star admirals. John remarry talked about the army but when he did he could tell you all the details. John especially knows what being a Prisoner Of War was like.

...ng and brave individual. From being beaten and laying on freezing cement to not eating but a little cup of noodles a day. "Then I found myself falling toward the middle of a small lake in the city of Hanoi, with two broken arms, a broken leg, and an angry crowd waiting to greet me. I was dumped in a dark cell, and left to die. I didn’t feel so tough anymore. When they discovered my father was an admiral, they took me to a hospital. They couldn’t set my bones properly, so they just slapped a cast on me. When I didn’t get better, and was down to about a hundred pounds, they put me in a cell with two other Americans. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t even feed myself. They did it for me. I was beginning to learn the limits of my selfish independence. Those men saved my life." John McCain finally in the end he is a nice gentleman that survived a true war story.
