John McCain

This is the lake where John McCain was shot down during the Vietnam War. He broke both arms ejecting out of his plane and would have drowned when he hit the water, but a local jumped in and dragged him to the shore. Lucky break, but then he got to spend the next few years in the Hanoi Hilton. After he was elected Senator he came back to Vietnam and they found the guy who'd saved his life, just a guy who lived by the lake.
