Before you watch this video, let me tell you it will be maddening. But it is worth watching for what you can get out of it. It is raw video of Sen. John McCain in Huntington, West Virginia today, August 6, 2008, where he went to a Marshall University Football practice and then spoke to the players after the practice. He spoke about his POW experience, and how courage and sacrifice are vital to the success of any team. The video is not professional, and at times it is as if McCain's words are cut off in mid-sentence. But if you hang in there, you will hear some inspiring words, especially towards the end.

John McCain needs to open up and speak more about his remarkable experience as a POW. It is truly inspiring and Americans will respond to him positively, even as these men did at Marshall.
