He served as a naval aviator during the Vietnam War and was captured by the North Vietnamese after his plane was shot down in 1967. McCain endured more than five years of captivity, including torture and solitary confinement, before being released in 1973.After returning from Vietnam, McCain continued his military career, eventually retiring from the Navy as a captain.

He was known for his independent-minded approach to politics and his willingness to stand up for his principles, even when it meant bucking party orthodoxy.McCain passed away on August 25, 2018, after battling brain cancer.
