RIP John McCain
MDMN John S. McCain III and CAPT John S. McCain, Jr.
So died these men as became Athenians….For this offering of their lives, made in common by them all, they each of them, individually received that renown which never grows old, and for a sepulchre, not so much that in which their bones have been deposited, but that noblest of shrines wherein their glory is laid up to be eternally remembered upon every occasion on which deed or story shall call for its commemoration. For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb.
Pericles’ funeral oration from the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides.
