Sen. John McCain speaks Wednesday at the U.S. Naval Academy Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.

On Thursday, McCain stopped at a hangar in Jacksonville, Florida — the place he arrived when released after 5½ years in a Vietnamese prison.

Thirty-five years later, the GOP candidate came back to promote his campaign by talking about lessons he learned.

“I once thought I was man enough for almost any confrontation. In prison, I discovered I was not. I tried to use every personal resource I had to confound my captors, and it wasn’t enough in the end,” he said. Video Watch more of McCain’s speech »

Joining him were family members rarely on the trail — three children who, along with McCain’s ex-wife, waited there while he was a POW.

“My daughter, Sidney, was an infant when I first left for Vietnam,” McCain said.
