While we had our differences on war claims for the people of Guam, I respected his service to our military, his constituents in Arizona, and the nation as a whole,\u201d\u00a0said Bordallo. \u201cI had an opportunity to meet Sen. McCain during a congressional delegation to Vietnam, and see firsthand where he was held as a prisoner of war. He sacrificed much for our country, and I was grateful to join in honoring his memory today in the U.S. Capitol. I extend my condolences to his wife, Cindy, and the entire McCain family. May he rest in peace.\u201d\u00a0(PR) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014Guam Delegate Madeleine Z.
