Readers Write: McCain earns our support

The Island Now

Arizona Sen. John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer.

He his battling an incurable brain cancer.

But he is a fighter and Sen. McCain has served our country well.

He served in the Vietnam War and was a Navy American hero and was tortured as a POW.

He is serving now in the U.S. Senate and has fought hard on issues for the betterment of the American people.

I am a cancer survivor myself going on two years now and have served during the Vietnam era in the U.S. Navy.

As such I salute Sen. McCain and pray for him in the fight of his life.

As his daughter Megan McCain has just said,” Cancer may afflict him in many ways, but it will not make him surrender, nothing ever has.”

As such may we all keep Sen. John McCain in our prayers for himself and his family at this time.
