McCain in Meridian on Monday

Senator John McCain will be in Meridian on Monday, March 31. He will speak at the MSU Riley Center at 8:45 a.m. You can RSVP at this page at JohnMcCain.com.

Read the story here from WTOK. An excerpt: Insurance agent Lamar McDonald is assisting with planning for the visit. McDonald said McCain indicated he's looking for some of his roots. He said with McCain's connection to NAS Meridian, there's a strong possibility he will be at the Blue Angels show this weekend. "And I think the people really need to have an opportunity to to see him up close, to see him, to hear him, and shake his hand and see that he's real," said McDonald. "I think it's very important." McCain is a former flight instructor at NAS Meridian and spent several months here in the early 1960s; McCain Field is named for his grandfather, the late Adm. John S. McCain.
