It was a part of growing up, it molded or disrupted attitude, it was pure euphoria when you wanted to shut the world out or let the world in on your own world. It simply described you when you couldn’t describe yourself.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — On behalf of the Navajo Nation, Pres. Russell Begaye and Vice Pres. Jonathan Nez attended Sen. John McCain’s funeral service at the North Phoenix Baptist Church on Aug. 30, in honor of the ideals he upheld as a veteran and as a statesman.

In all, he was a respectable man willing to sit down with the Navajo Nation to hear our concerns. He was a man of courage who served the country with valor. Godspeed, Sen. McCain.”
