John McCain, strong supporter of close Vietnam-U.S. ties
Dao Thi Tiec, 85, who lives near the Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi, told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA; German Press Agency) last October that she vividly remembers the day he was captured.

After he was freed, McCain began his political career at home, … [Read more...] about John McCain, strong supporter of close Vietnam-U.S. ties
