Original Note:
The memorial is not dedicated to John McCain. It is a commemoration of his successful capture by Vietnamese soldiers after his plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile. Its intended purpose aside, "foreign visitors to Hanoi have chosen to pay respects to him there." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trúc_Bạch_Lake#:~:text=Trúc%20Bạch%20war%20monument&text=The%20inscription%20reads%3A,aircraft%20shot%20down%20that%20day.
