Philadelphia Inquirer:
He was a hero in two wars, then a fabled test pilot, a four-term senator, a presidential candidate, finally a party elder. But in mind's eye and in history, John Herschel Glenn Jr. is frozen in time.
.....John Glenn remains what he was when he became a staple of black-and-white television and the color pictures of Life magazine:
An American phenomenon - forever young, forever clad in the silvery Project Mercury space suit he wore when he sat above a smoking Atlas booster, forever the commander of Friendship 7, forever the first American to orbit Earth....
Life Magazine has released some pictures about John Glenn which you can see at Life Magazine. A film about his life is posted at the Ohio State University. John Glenn is an American hero.
FYI: In an article in the Columbus Dispatch, Republican Gov. John Kasich cut the entire budget at the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy which is located on the campus of The Ohio State University.
