"Today America lost a patriot. Whether in combat or in Congress, Senator John McCain lived each day fiercely defending our freedom and the country he loved. History will remember him as a public servant, statesman, and true American hero. Amy and I send our prayers to the McCain family during this difficult time. Senator McCain's honorable service and brave sacrifices for our great nation should never be forgotten."
