Before his political career and bid for the White House, the late Sen. John McCain was a naval aviator, shot down during the Vietnam War, captured and tortured. When this May 25, 1973 photo was taken, U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. McCain is greeted by President Richard Nixon, left, in Washington, after McCain’s release from a prisoner of war camp in North Vietnam.
