Veterans shaped by service and loyalty to nation
Bob Michel, died at 93, served 38 years in Congress from Peoria, Illinois after landing at Normandy and fighting in the Battle of the Bulge earning two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart. John McCain, elected to his sixth term, criticizes Trump and defends a free press, while veterans' influence wanes in Congress. The piece lauds Michel and McCain for placing national interests above party and laments lost camaraderie in the House.
