John Mccain Statue in Hanoi

Posted on 07/01/2008 8:37:39 PM PDT by minus_273

There is a statue in Hanoi where McCain was shot down. I am amazed this exists:




taken from http://www.everywheremag.com/places/4940/
The inscription apparently says " on October 26, 1967, John McCain was shot down here. Thirty-one other U.S. aircraft were also downed on this day, according to the inscription. "


very strange. I guess they want tourism.

Looks like they are after the dimocRAT tourist money.

... and while we're at it, there's a statue of Lincoln in Tijuana, as I was surprised to learn when I went there on business.

You think there is a statue of Reagan at the Kremlin?

There is a Lenin statue in Seattle. Although that might not be as much of a stretch.

If McCain wins the election, perhaps we can erect a statue in the state that “puts him over the top”.

“Here is where the candidacy of Barack Obama was shot down...”
