Original Note:
Trúc Bạch war monument is not a memorial to John Sidney McCain III. It is a commemoration to the people of Vietnam who shot down ten planes, and captured McCain in 1967. It was erected and dedicated when McCain was still alive in 1985, hence was not a memorial. https://travelshelper.com/vietnam/places-in-vietnam/john-mccain-monument/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/5bwlfv/what_does_mccains_monument_in_hanoi_say/?rdt=59977 https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain/status/160398605990105088
