President Joe Biden paid tribute to John McCain Monday by visiting the monument in Hanoi that marks where the late senator's plane was shot down before he spent five and a half years in Vietnam as a prisoner of war. Biden was joined by former Secretary of State and Sen. John Kerry, who like Biden was one of McCain's colleagues, but unlike McCain returned from serving in Vietnam to be one of the faces of the U.S. anti-war movement. The president spent the morning with Vietmanese officials, as the U.S.'s diplomatic status with the nation was upgraded, before making a final stop at the statue, located on the bank of Trúc Bạch Lake.
