Part III
"Upon our repariations in early 1973, separation of unprecendented
durations had taken thier toll on relaitonships and families. John's return to his wife, CArol, and three chidlren (hert wo boys that he adopted and thier daughter) was joyful, but within a few years thier marriage would end, a sad occassion for which John accepts full blame due to "my own selfishness and immaturity." He was very generous in the in the sttlement, however and he and Carol remain friends to this day."
"A Pentagon tour in the office of Legislation Affairs, led him into the world of politics. It was in this capacity, on a Congressional junket to the Far East, which returned him to Hawii, that he was bedazzaled by
Cindy Hensley at a cocktail reception. " They were married a year later.
Listen to this carefully...it says a lot about the McCains.....
"his father commander of the Pacific forces in December, 1972 ordered a B-52 bomb raids on Hanoi, while knowing John was a prisoner in the Hanoi Hilton.""And when we were release (in no small part to those raids) and flew back home thru Hawii. The outporing of Aloha and lei was overwhelming"
As John recalls." Thousand of people turned out-many wearing bracelets that had our names on them-tp cheer us as we disembarked.I will never forget it."
This is a comment by retired Admiral Joe Vasey made of John McCain;
"The John McCain, I've come to know since he was a child has as courageaous leader of strong character, who can always be depended upon to put our countries best interest over partisan politics."
Coffee at a diner party with the McCains. John has just visited Alaska on a fact finding trip. To verfiy the shrinking of the polar ice cap. McCain says,"We went there to confirm the shrinking of the polar iceds caps. You know I am very concerned about it."
And maybe some of John McCain real humor, just for Skybow.
They were leaving the diner party. And waiting for a valet to bring the cars. A young woman steps out, hestitates stares at him.....and says
"I know you! I'm supposed to know who you are.....don't tell me!"
John stared back
"Mmmmmm. Ok I give up, who are you?"
John replies with a mischeavious look, "Al Gore!"
She protests, "You are not Al Gore. He is more hansome than you!"
"Ok,OK, I'm John McCain"
"JOHN McCAIN!" She gushes, rushes to hug his neck. "You are the only Repbulican I ever voted for."
