This is John McCain's farewell letter.

LAMTUMIRA LET

Senator John McCain, who died Saturday at 81 years of age from brain cancer, has left a farewell letter to his countrymen.

I lived and left life as a proud American,” writes McCain.

We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with the tribal rivalries that have planted hostility, hatred, and violence all over the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we suspect the power of our ideals, instead of trusting them as a great force for change, as they have always been,” says on paper.

We are three hundred and twenty-five million individuals, each with our own opinion, and we argue noisyly. We fight and compete sometimes even offend each other in our fierce public debates. But we've always had so much more in common with each other than disagreements. If we get this in our mind and give each other a sense that we all love our country, then we will be able to overcome these challenges and get out of them stronger than ever before, as always. ”

Don't lose hope in the present difficulties, but always believe in the promise and greatness of America, because here nothing is inevitable. Americans never leave the race. We never give up. We never hide history. We make history. ”

Goodbye, American brothers. God bless you and God bless America”, the letter of Senator McCain concludes.

The flag on the White House, which sat over the weekend in half a spear as a sign of respect for Senator John McCain, rose again complete, but on Monday afternoon it sat down again.

The rise of the flag over the White House was met with criticism from left and right, including the organisation of veterans American Legion.

Meanwhile, the flag at Congress headquarters continues to be at half a spear in honor of the Arizona senator.

President Donald Trump has expressed his condolences to Titeter for Senator McCain's family, but until Monday afternoon he had not issued a promotion in his honour.

On Monday afternoon he issued a statement saying: “Despite our political disagreements, I respect the service Senator John McCain has made the country, and in his honor I have signed a promotion to lower the American flag at half-staff until his funeral. I have asked Vice President Mike Pence to give a speech at Senator McCain's ceremony in the Capitol building on Friday”.

President Trump and Senator McCain have long exchanged criticism among themselves.

The United States Flag Code requires the flags to be lowered “on the day of death and the next day for a member of Congress. ”

However, according to an early tradition, for people with prominent contributions to the country, the flag remains seated until their burial.

In 2009, after the death of Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, President Barack Obama ordered a half-storch of flags in government buildings that remained seated for several days.

President Trump did not respond to reporters at the White House when asked if he considered the late senator a hero.
