The Republican died of a brain tumor in 2018. As a Navy pilot, McCain was taken prisoner of war during the Vietnam War and tortured. He was only released after five years.
In 1985, he visited Vietnam again for the first time as a congressman. In the years that followed, he negotiated the end of the last US embargo against Vietnam in 2016, among other things, and traveled to the country repeatedly - most recently in 2017. In Vietnam, McCain was ultimately considered a friend. The memorial by a lake commemorates the events of that time.
