The entire nation is mourning the recent passing of United States Senator John McCain. Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has revealed how he, too, is one with the country by sending out a heartfelt tweet expressing his grief on the loss of one of America's most prominent political figures.

As described by Booker, John Sidney McCain III was a major player in the political landscape of the state of Arizona. The war veteran served as a congressman to the state's 1st District before he was later elected to represent the state in the Senate. He would serve a total of six terms as a senator and was famously the Republican nominee for the Presidency of the United States in the 2008 election. McCain lost said election to former President Barrack Obama.

The Suns also sent out their condolences to McCain's family along with a genuine message on how the organization feels about the late senator's contributions to the nation.
