Kenyans have joined the world in mourning the demise of former U.S Senator, soldier and Presidential candidate John McCain
McCain, who has died at the age of 81, was a naval bomber pilot, prisoner of war, conservative maverick, giant of the Senate, twice-defeated presidential candidate and an abrasive American hero with a twinkle in his eye.
John McCain was the ideal politician & citizen .. He showed that love & sacrifice for Country is above Tribe, Politics & Sycophancy …. He stood for truth … He stood against political corruption…. John McCain was the purest embodiment of Patriotism. #RIPJohnMcCain

When they went head to head with Obama years back; McCain was PATRIOTISM at its best and Obama HOPE at its best. A remarkable loss to humanity #RIPJohnMcCain @NYC_YouthVoice @BKhaniri @MwalukuMartha pic.twitter.com/2ig4Zrej69

“In the end, it matters less that you can fight. What you fight for is the real test.”

John McCain was an ACTUAL American hero. A man that lived his life with honor and upheld the principles of sacrifice, service, and perseverance. I may not have agreed with his politics but I have no hesitation in saying I respected the hell out of him. #RIPJohnMcCain pic.twitter.com/rQ7wxfvaY1

With most politicians we have to wonder how much they would personally sacrifice for their country.
With John McCain we knew.
A hero and a patriot.#RIPJohnMccain
