Narrator:
He was a young Navy pilot who volunteered for duty in Vietnamand was shot down over Hanoi. Lieutenant Commander John McCain.
Dragged off by an angry mob. When found to be the son and grandson
of admirals was offered early
release. He refused.
McCain's commitment to country
and fellow prisoners brought him
repeated beatings and
five-and-a-half years in prison.
He returned home, spirit
unbroken, again devoting himself
to his country. Navy officer,
Congressman, Senator; taking on
the establishment and defying
special interests. And never
forgetting those heroes with
whom he served. Today John
McCain is ready to lead America
into the new century.
His mission: to fundamentally
reform government. More
experience and more
courage than anyone. Ready to be
president and leader of the free
world.
John McCain: I swear to
you that from my first day in
office to the last breath I
draw,
I will do everything in my power
to make you proud of your
government.
Narrator: John McCain,
for President.
