My ex was an Army vet, medically discharged due to an injury she sustained in action overseas. She was having so much trouble receiving her VA benefits and was so disenfranchised with the Army that she gave up trying to get her money. I told her to write to John McCain as a last-ditch effort, thinking maybe he could help.
A month or so later, I got a phone call: “Hi, this is Senator John McCain. May I speak to Josephine X?” I handed the phone to my girlfriend, and they talked for over an hour. He asked about her experiences, listened, gave her some advice, and said he would take care of her issue. This was while he was on the campaign trail for president.
Within two days, the entire amount she was missing was in her bank account. John McCain is one of the only Republicans who has my full respect.

I remember watching this live on CSPAN.
It was a HUGE deal.
