National Vietnam Veterans Museum (NVVM)Book, McCain, John, Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir (Copy 1), 2008
Senator John McCain leaned about life from his grandfather and father, both admirals in the US Navy. Their careers and their courage helped prepare McCain for the biggest challenge of his life when , as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi In 1967, and seriously injured. When his captors realised McCain's family background, they offered him early release. McCain refused the offer and was subsequently tortured, held in solitary confinement, and imprisioned for more that five years (the longest in US military history).Senator John McCain leaned about life from his grandfather and father, both admirals in the US Navy.
