(CNN)Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald paid a Christmas tribute to Sen. John McCain in an open letter, offering prayers for the Arizona Republican, who is battling brain cancer.
In the letter, which was published by Sports Illustrated, Fitzgerald recalls a 2013 visit to Vietnam, where he toured the places where McCain was tortured as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. As the letter notes, McCain spent six Christmases as a POW.
"I saw the very jail cell where he was held as a POW and I tried to imagine what it must have been like to be him. I took a photo of myself next to his flight suit, the suit he was wearing when he got shot down," Fitzgerald wrote. "So powerful. So meaningful. Those images will never leave my mind."
