VP Harris laid flowers @ the monument where McCain's plane was shot down on 3yr anniv of his passing [View all]



In the pouring rain here in Hanoi, VP Harris took a moment of silence and laid flowers at the monument where John McCain’s plane was shot down by the North Vietnamese in 1967. It’s the three-year anniversary of McCain’s death.


ETA some still photos...



The @VP visited the John McCain memorial in Hanoi where his plane was shot down by the North Vietnamese in 1967. It’s the 3-year anniversary of his death. She told us he’s “an American hero” and “loved our country.” She said she was honored to serve alongside him in the Senate.






Our MVP is a class act!
