Eshoo Statement on the Death of Senator John McCain

August 26, 2018
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today Congresswoman Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) released a statement following the death of Senator John McCain:

"The death of Senator John McCain has left our country and the world in mourning. He was the embodiment of the best of America. He devoted his entire adult life in service to our country, from his naval career, to prisoner of war for five and a half years, to Congress and to the United States Senate.

"In his book The Restless Wave, Senator McCain wrote 'I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times.' Senator McCain was much more than a small place in our nation's story. He was a legendary patriot with an unwavering commitment to public service and the greater good. My prayers are with his wife Cindy, his mother, and the entire McCain family. May God rest his noble soul."
