McCain announces First Coast stop
Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) announced a presidential campaign swing through parts of the country where he grew up - including Jacksonville. He calls it his “Service to America Tour,” and he will visit Mississippi today, and Virginia, Maryland, and Arizona, as well as Florida, this week.
The Jacksonville rally will be held on Thursday, April 3, at 8:45 in the morning. It will be at the Cecil Commerce Center, a former Navy base, FCCJ Aviation Center of Excellence, Aviation Hanger 14, 13510 Aerospace Way.
McCain is a former Naval aviator who was stationed for a time in Jacksonville. Here’s what the campaign says about the tour:
… John McCain will embark on a “Service to America” tour where he will introduce himself to the nation through a series of speeches and visits that trace the life of a man indebted to his nation, humbled by the opportunity to serve his country, honored by his family’s love and deeply moved by his fellow Americans’ courage and sacrifice. The tour will highlight the events and figures that shaped his views of right and wrong, forgiveness and grace and the tradition of service and sacrifice ingrained in him from generations of McCains. This “Service to America” tour will fundamentally be about the future of America and the change John McCain will bring as president, informed by the values that have guided his life.
