Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) received the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal Monday night.
“I’m aware of the prestigious company the Liberty Medal places me in,” McCain said in his speech after receiving the award. “I’m humbled by it, and I’ll try my best not to prove too unworthy of it.”
“I’ve had the good fortune to spend 60 years in service to this wondrous land,” he continued.
“I’ve been repaid a thousand times over with adventures, with good company, with the satisfaction of serving something more important than myself, of being a bit player in the extraordinary story of America. And I am so grateful,” McCain said.
The Arizona senator was presented the medal by former Vice President Joe Biden for his “lifetime of sacrifice and service” to the United States.

I guess now that McCain is terminally ill, he is going to receive many such honors.
