Thank you John
For all you did in serving something bigger than yourself and your personal beliefs. 52% of this country only thinks of what the gov't can do for them, instead of what this country needs to do so we can enjoy our freedoms and reap the outcomes of our personal decisions.
Sen. Warner's Office with Interactive Photo/Graphics
The three Va-Pilot personnel who constructed the interactive article of Sen. Warner's office should be commended on a job well done. Hyonsoo Leo Kim (photo & audio), Miranda Mulligan (graphics), and Kerry W. Sipe (production) did a magnificent job.
As a retired Navy photo officer with 25 years of experience in these types of things I feel well-qualified to comment on the first class execution of this project. Great job!

Just like the conflict in Vietnam
Politicians leaving office. And letting our kids, die in a war, based on lies.
Goodbye and Good Luck
Farewell and thank you Senator John Warner for a job well done! You have been a true public servant to all of this commonwealth. Godspeed!
Thank you Virginia Pilot
Thank you Virginia Pilot for a well composed article. I enjoyed Senator Warner's own voice without excess commentary. Good reporting.
Senator Warner,
Thank you for your service, Sir.
Respectfully,
A Citizen
Good riddance
Good riddance too, what a waste of good cyber space, and energy by the
Pilot staff.
Sen Warner
Corporate John haS finally retired. I will miss all those slack jawed looks of surprise whenever BRAC scheduled a local NAvy Base for closure.
I don't remember anything the Republican party supported corporate John did not agree with. Sure, he put on a good act when required. In the end he
slowly slipped out OF the picture and supported the Republican agenda.
So, I say, "Good riddance".
VA Pilot Well Done
I have always been a big critic of the VA Pilot; but I must give credit to the Pilot and the staff that developed this article and the graphics. Very well done.
To Senator Warner: Sir; God bless you and your family and thank you for all of your years of selfless public service. You are a true American hero and I am proud that you were my senator from the Old Dominion. Enjoy your well earned retirement.
Nice job Pilot!
This is really cool - innovative - interesting and informative. Nice job Pilot folks!!! I like it.
Nice Elk...
I guess the Buck Stopped there... ;-)
Happy retirement...
