that make it in some way harder on them individually as they came through, grandfather, great grandfather and father were e exalted alumni. yes. however, there were a number of classmates that never knew senator mccain s father was a captain in the navy. he didn t brag about it. leland: wow. so humility as well in addition to his other when we re talking about when senator mccain was a midshipman which would have been in the 50s, 54 to 58 at the academy and his father at the time was one of the more revered combat tested alumni of the naval academy and you re saying he never told anyone. right. his father was a submarine commander during world war ii and had sunk several japanese ships including a destroyer so he had a very stellar combat record and was clearly someone who was on track to go a lot
there isn t a lot that 14,000 troops can do to change the situation. leland: as you noted in that interview, so much of senator mccain s legacy is tied up in the war in afghanistan and doing what he thought was right, fighting for what he thought was right for our troops and for the country. a lot of that will be discussed coming up in about four minutes on fox news sunday. lindsey graham, senator mccain s side kick, will join chris wallace for an interview. gillian: you don t want to miss that. leland: that s coming up. great having you here. senator mccain being laid to rest as we speak at the naval academy, a place he loved so well and will be remembered so fondly at. see you next weekend. get your groove on with one a day 50+. get ready for the wild life complete multivitamins with key nutrients that address 6 concerns of aging, including heart health, supported by b-vitamins. your one a day is showing. at priceline, to save you money.ways like mixing and matching airlines
