John McCain's reflections on his capture...
19 -- On Nov. 13, 1996, McCain embraces Mai Van On, the man who saved him in 1967 after his bomber was shot down over Hanoi during the Vietnam War. “He’s a wonderful man,” McCain said. “It’s very touching to talk to him.”
On pulled McCain’s broken body from Hanoi's Truc Bach lake despite a jeering crowd that would sooner have let the American aviator die.
“I didn’t know why I saved him at the time,” On said, according to the Associated Press. “But now I know. He is an important American senator who is trying to help Vietnam.”

26 -- McCain shows his 13-year-old son, Jack, his former cell at Hoa Lo prison, known as the Hanoi Hilton, on April 26, 2000, during a visit to Vietnam to mark the 25th anniversary of the end of the war. “It's always interesting for me to be back here and show my son the place where I lived for a long time,” McCain said according to a report from The New York Times. “But I put Vietnam behind me when I left.”
