He has lived his entire life and taught our children the same values. He lives by the code of conduct; duty, honor, and country. That's a leader. >> John McCain. >> John McCain. >> John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! John McCain! >> Now, I've had the privilege and the honor of traveling all over the world with Senator McCain. I got to know his family very well. We've been to Iraq a lot of times and John would come back and say, " This is not working. You know, we gotta get it right in Iraq. America doesn't lose wars ." John McCain had the vision and the courage to change the strategy. And John, on behalf of all of these people, thank you for all the time putting your country first. It's just got to say when it comes to Senator McCain, he's done it all of his life. All the political issues that are tough to handle in Washington, who's on the top of the spear? John McCain. And when it gets tough, Barack Obama cannot be found. I've never been more proud of my friend than when he got us on the right path in Iraq. People were telling John McCain, " You don't need to get too deep into this. Give yourself a bad door" But John said, " Wait a minute. This is not about me. This is about my country. We can't afford to lose this war ." That's why we love him. >> I am a mountain and I choose to fight. Dont give up hope, be strong, have courage and fight. Fight for a new direction for our country; fight for what's right for America; fight to clean up the mess of corruption, infighting, and selfishness in Washington; fight to get our economy out of the ditch and back into the lead; fight for the ideals and character of a great people; fight for our children's future; fight for justice and opportunity for all. Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up and fight. America is worth fighting for. Nothing is inevitable here. We never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. Now, let's go win this election and get our country moving again. God bless you, Virginia. God bless America. Win this election. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Last Days on the Trail: McCain ","description":"TIME Magazine photographer Christopher Morris with a through-the-lens view of the final days of Senator John McCain's presidential campaign","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/DOkzlSYj/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2009-04-08T16:12:20.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/DOkzlSYj.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/DOkzlSYj/","duration":"PT3M32S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/DOkzlSYj/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
